The measured location (residence flat) is located at Othonos street, 2008, in Acropoli - Nicosia. The measurements were started on the 12th of July 2013 at 13:10 pm and were finished at 14:30 pm the same day.
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.

Table 1: ICNIRP exposure limits for Occupational and General public exposure
The maximum obtained values from the investigation are represented below and compared to the ICNIRP specified limits of General Public and Occupational standards. The highest magnetic field measurement was observed inside the veranda area, 0 meters away from the veranda hand rails, at a height of 0.3 m (0 meters away from the starting point). The measured value at this point was 1.954 µT and a percentage of 1.954 % as compared to the ICNIRP General Public standard.
A detailed description of the maximum measured magnetic fields in the area of investigation is shown in the following table.
