Original language description

Expansion of wireless networks mobile phones increase the number of base transmission stations with antenna systems usually located on the school roof buildings or nearby. Antenna systems are a source of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, which may represent an increased health risk, especially for children and young people due to their higher sensibility, and hence vulnerability. Therefore the spectrum analyser Spectran HF-6080 was used for measuring of electric field strength inside the selected educational establishments in spaces, where children and young people are staying commonly. The measured values were according to expectations distinctly under the actual valid action level of electric field strength, which respects thermal effects of non-ionizing radiation exclusively. That is why the health risk is totally negligible in accordance with this procedure of risk assessment. If the precautionary principle has been taken into account and the biological effects of non-ionizing radiation have been included, in 11 out of 15 educational establishments has been proved the unacceptable risk.
