Abstract:
In the last two decades the widespread use of new wireless technologies
and applications has increased public exposure to EMF radiation and has
inevitably drawn attention to the safety of these technologies. The objective
of the studies performed within the framework of this thesis was to address
various aspects of exposure evaluation of low-level RF EM fields in support of
the high priority scientific goals of the WHO research agenda on assessment of
possible carcinogenic and co-carcinogenic effects of radio frequency (RF) and microwave
electromagnetic fields from new wireless technologies. In summary, the research
performed for this thesis has provided a significant contribution to regulators
and public health agencies by helping them to perform a sound and
evidence-based EMF health risk assessment. Finally, the detailed
characterization and dosimetric evaluation of the
specialized in vivo and in vitro
exposure systems presented in this thesis can be used as a guideline for
optimization of exposure concepts and dosimetry in
future studies of biological effects from low level RF EMF exposure on animals
or tissue cultures.
Neviana Nikoloski received her diploma degree in physics from the State University ''St. Kliment Ohridski", Sofia,
Bulgaria. In 2000 she joined IT'IS Foundation in order to work on compliance
evaluation of wireless technologies. In 2003, she started her doctoral studies
at the Integrated Systems Laboratory of the ETH Zurich, working on design and dosimetric evaluation of specialized exposure systems for
EMF risk assessment.
