This paper assessed the variability of radiofrequency exposure among road users in urban settings due to vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication operating at 5.9 GHz. The study evaluated the absorbed dose of radiofrequencies using whole-body specific absorption rate (SAR) in human models spanning different age groups, from children to adults.

We specifically investigated exposure levels in children of different ages and both genders. This study also compares the children's exposure levels generated by such technology with those of an adult investigated in our previous study.

(2) Methods: The first one was centered in the lower 5G band, around f = 3.5 GHz, whereas the second one was tuned to the upper 5G band, at 26.

In particular, the study assessed, by means of computational dosimetry, the RF-EMF exposure in road users near a car equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication antennas. The exposure scenario consisted of a 3D numerical model of a car with two V2V antennas, each fed with 1 W, operating at 5.

This study is based on the quantification of the influence of the presence of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), of their geometry and their distance from cell membrane during time-varying electromagnetic fields cell membrane permeabilization on the pores opening dynamics. Results showed that the combined use of Au NPs and time-varying magnetic field can improve significantly the permeabilization of cell membrane. The presence of Au NPs allowed to reach transmembrane potential values enabling the cell membrane permeabilization only when placed at very short distance, equal to 20 nm.
