Análise das radiações não ionizantes em antenas de provedor de serviços de internet

Abstract

This work presents an approach to the non-ionizing radiation, which have been introduced to our daily lives due to the hasty improvement of the telecommunications because the transportation of information like data, images, audio, video and others are done through them. This study seeks to make the dangers related to these radiations more accessible, mainly to the employees of internet providers, who may be exposed to them during the execution of their activities. For that, this work firstly addresses the levels of expositions of the radiations through radiofrequency; their effects in human health, such as thermal and non-thermal effects; the principle of operation of the telecommunications equipment’s; and a case study which had the objective of presenting the minimum distances of the worker, calculations of electromagnetic fields based on the current regulations in the country as well as propositions of preventive measures aiming to minimize the effects of the radiations and to increase the attention when working near electromagnetic waves.
