Electromagnetic field measurements near mobile base stations
Ofcom has been carrying out electromagnetic field (EMF) measurements near mobile phone base stations for many years. These published measurements have consistently shown that EMF levels are well within the general public EMF limits.
Here you can find the results of the measurements we have taken, including individual test reports.
We carried out 38 EMF measurement surveys near 5G-enabled mobile base stations between April and October 2021.
