Abstract
The use of wireless communication in Nigeria has increased tremendously in the recent past as well as the use of these gadgets by the masses contributing to radiofrequency emission. This is attributable to the latest technological reforms by network subscribers across the world. In order to assess the growing concern raised by radiofrequency base stations, the power density of radiation around some GSM base stations were measured using broadband radiofrequency meter and spectrum analyzer. The results obtained showed the presence of emissions of the selected networks, ranging from 0.0002143〖Wm〗^(-2) to 0.0020872 〖Wm〗^(-2) with maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 4.995×10-5W/kg at a radial distance of 25m and minimum SAR value of 2.791×10-6W/kg at a distance of 200m. The results obtained from the masts assessed remained affected by upsurge intrusion of additional causes of emissions nearby; however, were within the recommended exposure limits. Our findings shows that there should be repeated assessment of these facilities at regular intervals as technology advances and more mobile stations are installed.

Key words: Specific absorption rate (SAR), Power density, Radiofrequency radiation, Exposure limits, GSM base stations
