Resumen
El objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la contaminación electromagnética de radiofrecuencia (RF) y campo magnético (CM) durante un año registrando su intensidad cerca de escuelas, hospitales, locales comerciales y viviendas en una zona comercial y en otra residencial de Xochimilco, Ciudad de México. La RF y el CM se midieron utilizando un medidor EXTECH® EMF450. Los valores obtenidos de radiación no ionizante (RNI) en el medio ambiente se compararon con aquellos que, según algunos autores, afectan los sistemas biológicos tanto en humanos como en animales. Asimismo, se compararon los valores con los límites establecidos a nivel nacional e internacional. Los valores promedio más altos de CM y de RF en la zona comercial fueron de 6.38 μT y de 1316 μW/m2, respectivamente, en tanto que en el área residencial fueron de 5.08 μT y 66 μW/m2. Los valores registrados estuvieron por debajo de los límites permisibles a nivel nacional e internacional, sin embargo, se encontraron por encima del umbral que, según reportes de algunos autores, podría
desencadenar efectos adversos en la salud, aunque estaban dentro de los límites establecidos por la
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Es necesario investigar
más al respecto, ya que aún no hay nada concluyente sobre este tipo de radiación y sus efectos.
