Abstract

Now-a-days researchers are very much concerned to evaluate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) at different human organs due to the Electromagnetic (EM) wave radiation coming from cell phone antennas or other wireless communication devices at radiofrequency (RF). But, the time has come to change the vision slightly toward the effect of RF on agricultural field and plant kingdom. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of RF radiation coming from Base Station Antennas (BSAs) on a Money plant. In this work, the radiation coming from a 2.4 GHz base station at the occupational and general public exposure levels prescribed by ICNIRP have been taken into consideration and then SAR induced inside a Money plant has been calculated. Shielding effectiveness (SE) provided by the Money plant has been experimentally measured and calculated in the frequency range of 2.35 GHz to 3.0 GHz. Maximum value of Local Point SAR at 2.4 GHz induced inside the Money plant for occupational and general public exposure levels are found to be 9.50 W/kg and 1.88 W/kg respectively. Whereas, Maximum value of SE obtained by the simulation and measurement are found to be 9.48 dB and 9.01 dB respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
