1 IEEE Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Monitoring Electrosmog in Switzerland Martin von Allmen, DR. GRAF AG, Privatstrasse 10-12, CH Gerlafingen, Switzerland. Abstract Densely populated Switzerland has probably the most stringent law regulating electromagnetic immissions from power lines to mobile phone base stations today. In the public perception, the issue has aquired a prominence that is difficult to understand on purely scientific grounds. Impl ementing the law requires new approaches in modelling and monitoring. Efficient tools and procedures are of vital interest not only to the public authorities (primarily at the communal level) but even more so to the concerned service providers. Unresolved technical topics include: Dealing with measurement and sampling errors, treatment of the background, and keeping pace with a very dynamical environment (UMTS rollout is under way). We discuss various problems in the measurement and modelling of electromagnetic immissions, as well as in the communication of complex and controversial issues, in a grass-roots democracy.

3 Martin von Allmen IEEE Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Non-ionizing radiation = N I R a.k.a. electrosmog are electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 0 and about 1000 GHz. As mechanical movements create sound, movement of electric charges creates em radiation. Unwanted sound is noise, unwanted em-waves are electrosmog.

8 Physiological effects of low frequency (<10 MHz) em fields IEEE Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Main effect: induces currents in the body. Symptoms: above 1 A/m 2 : Potentially lethal heart rythm disturbance 0.1 to 1 A/m 2 : Acute sensory stimulation 10 to 100 ma/m 2 : Established effects on protein synthesis, enzyme activity, bone healing, weak sensory stimulation. 1 to10 ma/m 2 : Suspected but unproven chronic effects like sleep disturbance or elevated cancer risk. Background current densities in the brain <1 ma/m 2 : No suspected effects Background current density in body tissue ICNIRP sets the limit for - transient exposure at 10 ma/m 2, - chronic exposure at 2 ma/m 2. Quantitative connection between currents and external em fields is based on biophysical modelling. ICNIRP = International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Martin von Allmen
9 Physiological effects of high frequency (>10 MHz) em fields IEEE Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Main effect: heats the tissue. Relevant quantity is the specific absorbed power density (SAR, W/kg). ICNIRP-limits allow a maximum temperature increase of 1 C. Radiation heating below 10 GHz is by volume absorption. ICNIRP-limit is 0.08 W/kg body weigth metabolic turnover at rest: 1.2 W/kg, while jogging: 10 W/kg above 10 GHz is by surface absorption, ICNIRP-limit is 10 W/m 2 body surface solar constant 400 W/m 2. Quantitative connection between body temperature rise and external em fields is based on biophysical modelling. electric field magnetic field ICNIRP = International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Martin von Allmen
10 Nonthermal effects? IEEE Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Postulated nonthermal long-term effects of weak em fields include hormonal disturbance, sleeplessness, general malaise increased cancer incidence depressed immune system The availabe evidence is largely epidemiological. Example: Relative risk of leukaemia in children growing up near power lines Index 1.0 means same risk as control group, index 5 corresponds to one additional case per year in Switzerland. Bars show 95% confidence interval. Martin von Allmen

19 Martin IEEE von Allmen Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 Measuring is not enough The ONIR specifies installation limits under specified operating conditions : power lines at thermal limit current, mobile phone stations at full power and simultanous operation of all traffic channels. This requires scaling measurements to specified operating conditions on the basis of operator data. power line mobile phone station E B mb mb = = E B eff eff max imum load effective load max imum ERP ERP of BCCH (BCCH=broadcast control channel)

21 Martin IEEE von Allmen Workshop on Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Politechnico di Milano, June 2001 NIR Monitoring Problems " who bears the errors? (burden of proof) " Calculation or measurement? " how bad is worst case? " are immission data public or proprietary? are emission data public or proprietary? " who bears the cost of fear?
