Abstract: | Electromagnetic field sources used for communication always have been subject of serious interest. There are many publications
concerning exposure and risk assessment of the working in such environment. Results of epidemiological study performed in
Bulgaria in the 1990's show exceeding of the maximal permissible values especially in radio stations for the personnel in
24 h working shift Israel et al. (1992). Study of the electromagnetic in its influence on personnel working in radio and
TV stations, Report, National Centre of Hygiene, Medical Ecology and Nutrition; Israel and Tomov (2001). Epidemiological study
of the effects of radiofrequency radiation on operators in radio, TV and relay stations, Proceeding of the Eastern European
Regional Meeting and Workshop “Measurements and Criteria for Standard Harmonization in the field of EMF Exposure” and WHO
EMF Standards Harmonization Meeting, Varna, Bulgaria, 28 April—3 May, 2001, pp.145–153]. In the last years the situation is
strongly influenced by the development of the technology which leads to changes in equipment in radio and TV stations, using
lower power, facilitate the working regime. The paper presents data of exposure assessment of different professional groups
in selected radio and TV stations. Assessment is being performed on basis of EMF parameters values and energetic load calculations
according to the national legislation. Data are compared with the results of previous investigation to evaluate the new situation
in this branch. Exposure levels are much lower than those in the previous study, and lower compared to the exposure limits,
