Lately, there has been massive development in the use of mobile phones especially in developing countries. But electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emissions from various mobile transceiver stations (MTS) have raised debates on whether they are hazardous to human or not. In this study, we aim at presenting an assessment of human exposure to RF radiation from mobile transceiver stations in Minna. The power flux densities radiations (W/m2) on residential buildings around the MTS were measured using a handheld Extech RF EMF strength meter. The highest mean power flux density value recorded for Minna, was 69.17mW/m2 while the least value was 2.11mW/m2. The result shows that the measured mean power flux density from mobile transceiver stations in Minna, have been compared with standard limit set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The measured value is far below the threshold limit. Therefore, RF emission from MTS in this study area may pose no known health hazards to the general public within the chosen vicinity.
