| Περίληψη: | This article investigates the effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) from mobile phones on human tissues and implanted medical devices. The intensity of the electric field (E) is evaluated based on simulations and measurements of various exposure scenarios. An area of interest is the case of a person with an implanted device (heart pacemaker) who may be affected by this exposure. Due to the rapid development of communication technologies and the growing awareness of the potential health risks of radio frequency (RF) EMF, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) has established exposure limits within the European Union. Our study models and analyses EMF values in human tissues in an ideal environment, in a situation where a person uses a mobile phone in the DCS (Digital Cellular System) band, including the case of a person with an implanted pacemaker. Pilot simulations were verified by experimental measurements. Based on them, specific human models with the best matching results were selected for modelling other possible interactions of exogenous EMF and cardiac pacemaker in the same situations and locations.
