The study has been conducted in three steps. In thefirst step, a circular zone with constant diameter which take the schoolbuilding as its center and might include base-stations and high-voltagetransmission lines has been investigated. The number of EMF sources have beendetermined and they have been classified their source and band types. Then, inthe second step, RF and ELF bands of the electromagnetic fields have beenmeasured in different frequency bands. Then at the last stage, measurements atthe some locations have been repeated and validation of the results have beenchecked. During measurements, Narda SRM 3006 spectrum analyzer, Narda NBM 550broadband field meter and Narda ELT 400 survey meter have been used. Finallythe measurement results have been provided in tables and curves and comparedwith the domestic and international exposure limits. CR - [1] Farag AS, Hashim TJ, Hussain H, Said I, Rahman NA.
