NATIONAL PROVISIONS Non-ionizing radiation environmental quality standards radiation (EQS-NIR) [0-300 GHz] are being developed. Maximum permissible limits for telecommunication activities (MPLs-NIR for telecommunications) [9 kHz-300 GHz], D.S. 038-2003-MTC. INICTEL 4 For workplace exposure Frequency Electrical field Magnetic field Power density range strength (V/m) strength (A/m) (W/m2) For public exposure Frequency Electrical field Magnetic field Power density range strength (V/m strength (A/m) (W/m2) INICTEL 5 Technical Standard on Radiofrequency Restrictions in Public Places As a directive supplementing D.S. 038-2003-MTC, on February 28, 2005, the Technical Standard on Radio Restrictions in Public Places (R.M. Nº 120-2005-MTC/03) was published. This technical standard establishes reference levels for public exposure in public places, defined as those places where it is considered that the public might be exposed to electromagnetic fields, such as: Schools (pre-school, primary, and secondary) Hospitals Health centers, and Clinics INICTEL 6 Reference levels for public exposure in public areas * Frequency Electrical field Power range strength density (V/m) (W/m2) * Either magnitude in the table above may be utilized: electrical field strength or power density, in accordance with frequency range. INICTEL 7 ORDINANCE REGULATING THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF BASE RADIO STATIONS IN SANTIAGO DE SURCO DISTRICT ORDINANCE Nº 182-MSS This ordinance is a broad initial approach to the environmental impact of radio stations, taking particular account of: Impact of non-ionizing radiation Impact on the landscape and urban environment Impact of noise and vibrations Considering as prevention and mitigation measures instruments such as the Environmental Impact Study (EIA), Environmental Improvement Program (PAMA), compliance with the MPLs, consistency with the urbanization regime, minimum distances between stations, height limits, visual integration of towers and poles with the environment, authorization from owners’ associations in cases where facilities are installed on lots subject to the ordinary property regime, sworn accountability statement regarding the infrastructure’s capacity to withstand extreme risk conditions (earthquakes and tremors, high wind, etc.), including the great weight of base radio station (BRS) facilities. INICTEL 8 ORDINANCE REGULATING THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF BASE RADIO STATIONS IN SANTIAGO DE SURCO DISTRICT ORDINANCE Nº 182-MSS Objective: To regulate the installation and operation of BRS in the district. Scope: Establishes the licensing requirements for installation, within the jurisdiction of Santiago de Surco district, of BRS with electromagnetic fields in the 9 kHz-300 GHz range. Instruments and measures: EIA PAMA BRS licensing, location, installation, and requirements Land use plan Urban development plan Infractions regime MPL certification INICTEL 9 III. PERUVIAN NATIONAL EVALUATION OF NIR IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS INICTEL 10 III. 1 NATIONAL EVALUATION OF THE MAIN SERVICES OBJECTIVES 1. To measure the strength of the electrical field generated by the most important services in the 30 MHz-2 GHz band, including FM radio, television, trunk service, and mobile cellular telephony, in five districts of the city of Lima: Chorrillos, including the Morro Solar telecommunication site; La Molina; Miraflores; Puente Piedra; and San Martín de Porres, and in six major cities: Cuzco, Huancayo, Ica, Iquitos, Pucallpa, and Trujillo. 2. To evaluate such measurements to determine compliance with the ICNIRICNIRP recommended pubpubliclic and workplace exposure limits. 3. To recommend prevention and mitigation measures where necessary.
