The EMF measurements were performed for the residence Arxiepiskopou Makariou C' in Souni on the 18th May 2012 at 4:30 p.m.
Limiting exposure values have been provided by the ICNIRP recommendations and are guidelines to many countries and organisations. The exposure limits at 50 Hz are tabulated in the following table according to the limits given by ICNIRP.

The highest magnetic eld measurement was observed inside the sitting room, at the height of 1m. The measured value at this point was 0.385µT and the percentage of 0.385% as compared to the ICNIRP General Public Standard.
A detailed description of the maximum measured magnetic fields inside is shown in the following table.
