RESUMO

With the implantation and spread of new cellular systems, mainly starting from the eighties, new technologies were developed, the number of cellular grew in a surprising way, as consequence, the Base Stations increased, too. The people, in general, are exposed to the radiations emitted by ERBs antennae. As the population doesn t have any control on such levels, people are always looking for appropriate and convincing answers. So, the authorities are concerned in guaranteeing that the exposition levels are not exceeded. Based on preoccupying issue, the World Health Organization (WHO) established in 1996 International EMF Project to verify the scientific evidence of possible health effects of Electromagnetic Field. This work intends to contribute in the set out of this controversial subject. At first, the cellular number evolution in Brazil is presented. In addition, the basic cellular structure components functions are described. The following topic presents some biological effects related to the non-ionizing radiation are presented according to the literature. Such controversial effects are discussed thoroughly by specialists of different research lines. This work also shows the power densities results obtained through two methodologies. Afterwards, concepts, risk perception characteristics and some results from a qualitative research are presented. At the end, the conclusions and suggestions for future works related to the same theme are shown.
