Analysis and Evaluation of The Electromagnetic Field Pollution in Marmara University Başıbüyük Campus Using Gas Discharge Visualization Tehnique According to Different Weather Conditions

Abstract

The continuous development of technology and, accordingly, people's interest in technological devices is increasing. Electric powered devices generate electricity and magnetic fields. The intensity of electric and magnetic fields is restricted by international organizations and limit values by Turkey's Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK). The values of the electromagnetic field generated by the base stations are monitored by the BTK. The limit values determined by the BTK are more stringent than those set by international organizations. The intensity of the electromagnetic field varies according to the distance and power to the system. In this study, electromagnetic field pollution in Marmara University Başıbüyük Campus was analyzed periodically and according to different weather conditions. Measurements were performed at 19 different points and the results were mapped. SRM 3006 model selective radiation meter was used in the measurement. Measurement results were compared with international limit values and evaluated. The limit value determined by international organizations for the environment is 61 V/m and the limit value determined by BTK is 42 V/m. 12-day average electric field is 1.53 V/m for periodical measurements. The average electric field in sunny weather is 1.9 V/m, 1.28V/m in rainy weather and 1.39V/m in cloudy weather. Gas Discharge Visualization technique was used to observe the possible changes in the energy and stress situation of the different electromagnetic field points within the campus. Energy and stress measurement with this technique was performed with Bio-well device. According to the measurement results, no change in stress and energy status was observed
