Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New and emerging wireless technologies are being used in everyday life in a great and rapidly increasing number of services based on connected objects emitting electromagnetic fields (EMF). This situation is potentially leading to new and complex exposure scenarios characterized by the simultaneous contribution of different emitting sources.
Connected objects in the Internet of Things (IoT), together with the new 5G services, are fostering the development of 'smart environments', such as smart homes, smart offices, smart healthcare, smart cities, smart factories, and smart mobility in which subjects can be potentially exposed to multiple EMF sources characterized by different and new frequencies, different temporal variations, and different field strengths.
This Special Issue focuses on innovative procedures, methods, techniques, and models for the assessment of EMF exposure in these new smart environments, including smart connectivity services addressing both the general population and workers. Particular attention will be focused on studies that address the inherent complexity and the variability of the new exposure scenarios.
Research papers or reviews are encouraged on (but are not limited to) the following: techniques, methods, procedures to assess EMF exposure by smart devices and technologies in outdoor and indoor scenarios, including public and occupational cumulative exposure; advanced statistical approaches for EMF dose assessment; and in-vivo and in-vitro studies of new EMF frequencies.
Topics:
- Smart environment
- Deterministic dosimetry
- Advanced statistics for EMF exposure assessment (stochastic dosimetry, machine learning)
- Computational exposure assessment
- EMF measurements
- Cumulative human exposure assessment
- Statistical EMF data processing approaches
- Smart mobility
- Smart healthcare
- m2m communications
- RFID technology
- 5G and 6G technologies

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
