Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Environmental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The purpose of our investigation was to access the level of mobile phone use by students and their daily expository of magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF). Material and method. The investigation was done on population of 205 students of the University "St. Clement of Ohrid", High Medical School - Bitola at age 20-25 years. The gender was: female 67% and male 33%.
