The aims of this study were to: i) investigate the repeatability and representativeness of personal radio frequency-electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) exposure measurements, across different microenvironments, ii) perform simultaneous evaluations of personal RF-EMF exposures for the whole body and the head, iii) validate the data obtained with a head-worn personal distributed exposimeter (PDE) against those obtained with an on-body worn personal exposimeter (PEM). Data on personal and head RF-EMF exposures were collected by performing measurements across 15 microenvironments in Melbourne, Australia. A body-worn PEM and a head-worn PDE were used for measuring body and head exposures, respectively. The summary statistics obtained for total RF-EMF exposure showed a high representativeness (r² > 0.66 for two paths in the same area) and a high repeatability over time (r² > 0.87 for repetitions of the same path). The median head exposure in the 900 MHz downlink band ranged between 0.06 V/m and 0.31 V/m. The results obtained during simultaneous measurements using the two devices showed high correlations (0.42 < r² < 0.94). The highest mean total RF-EMF exposure was measured in Melbourne's central business district (0.89 V/m), whereas the lowest mean total exposure was measured in a suburban residential area (0.05 V/m). This study shows that personal RF-EMF microenvironmental measurements in multiple microenvironments have high representativeness and repeatability over time. The personal RF-EMF exposure levels (i.e. body and head exposures) demonstrated moderate to high correlations.

这项研究的目的是：i）在不同的微环境中研究个人射频电磁场（RF-EMF）暴露测量的可重复性和代表性； ii）对整个身体的个人RF-EMF暴露进行同时评估，以及iii）验证头戴式个人分散式测光仪（PDE）所获得的数据与佩戴在身上的个人分散式测光仪（PEM）所获得的数据是否相符。通过在澳大利亚墨尔本的15个微环境中进行测量，收集了个人和头部RF-EMF暴露的数据。戴在身上的PEM和戴在头上的PDE分别用于测量人体和头部的暴露量。获得的RF-EMF总暴露量的汇总统计数据显示出很高的代表性（r ²>在同一区域中的两条路径> 0.66），并且随着时间的推移具有较高的可重复性（对于同一路径的重复，r ² > 0.87）。900 MHz下行链路频带中的磁头暴露中值介于0.06 V / m和0.31 V / m之间。使用两个设备同时测量期间获得的结果显示出很高的相关性（0.42 <r ²<0.94）。在墨尔本中央商务区，RF-EMF的平均总暴露量最高（0.89 V / m），而在郊区住宅区，RF-EMF的平均总暴露量最低（0.05 V / m）。这项研究表明，在多个微环境中进行个人RF-EMF微环境测量具有较高的代表性和可重复性。个人RF-EMF暴露水平（即身体和头部暴露）显示出中等至高度的相关性。
