Magnetic field measurements were performed for the residence in location 12 Kosti Palama street in Larnaca. The measurements were performed on the 14th of April 2011 at 09:30 am.
Limiting exposure values have been provided by the ICNIRP recommendations and are guidelines to many countries and organizations. The exposure limits at 50 Hz are tabulated in the following table according to the limits given by ICNIRP.
