Technological advancements in recent times have increased the interest in technological devices. The
growing demand for electricity by societies, especially in the latter years of the twentieth century, has
led to the emergence of electromagnetics as a significant environmental issue. In order to address this
problem, restrictions have been imposed by national and international organizations. Devices
operating with electrical energy generate electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic field
(EMF) occurs during the operation of electrical devices and systems, exerting varying degrees of
influence on humans depending on the frequency. It can result in various conditions ranging from
discomfort to nerve stimulation and even internal burns. However, living organisms exposed to
electromagnetic effects may continue their lives without being aware of the negative impact it has on
them, only to face health problems in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the
electromagnetic fields to which employees are exposed, based on the principles of occupational health
and safety laws and regulations.
In this study, the measurement of electromagnetic field effects in the indoor and outdoor areas of
buildings located at Hakkari University Zeynel Bey Campus was conducted, and the results were
analyzed. Especially, electromagnetic field measurements were taken using EMF measurement
devices at various points within the buildings, where electrical devices operating at a frequency of 50
Hz are present, and the results were evaluated.
