Abstract: The electromagnetic radiation environment quality of 5G mobile communication base stations which were built and put into operation in Hubei Province from 2021 to 2022 was investigated. The power density of the sampled 266 5G base stations ranges from 0.01 to 295 μW/cm². Through statistical analysis of monitoring data from aspects such as monitoring distance, functional area, base station type, etc., it was found that the electromagnetic radiation environment of 5G communication base stations in Hubei Province is generally good. The rooftop type base stations in densely populated urban areas such as residential areas are prone to high power density values, but all base stations beyond a horizontal monitoring distance of 50 m meet the standards for multiple application modes, which has guiding implications for the radiation environment management of 5G communication base stations in Hubei Province.

Key words: 5G communication base station, electromagnetic radiation, radiation environment, environmental quality
