Although Tunisia has adopted the ICNIRP limits, they define schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and nursery schools as “sensitive institutions” and do not allow antennas within 100m of these “sensitive institutions.” See Tunisia WHO Report 2017
- The 2019 World Health Organization update on Tunisia stated, “The ad hoc working group charged for review complaints filed regarding the installation of mobile phone base stations was met three times in 2018 and has treated 21 cases. Based on the precautionary measures, the ad hoc working group suggests that cellular phone BTS antenna should not be sited closer than 100 m to sensitive institutions (schools, kindergartens, universities and hospitals) to minimize exposure of neighbors.”
- According to the 2017 Government Report Circulars from jointly Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Communication and Technologies and the Ministry of Interior “fixed as per limit 100m between sensitive institutions (schools, kindergartens, hospitals…) and cellular phone BTS antennas, to minimize exposure.”
National website to inform citizens of their RF exposures.
- The website http://www.cartoradio.tn/ is available for all citizens to look up their town and find RF measurements.
- For every mobile phone base transceiver stations (BTS) antenna in Tunisia, the synthesis of electromagnetic field measurement results and the conclusions (electric field levels compared with limit values), are available on the website http://www.cartoradio.tn.
