This paper presents a radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure assessment carried out in an observatory open for general public, where there are multiple radio and television transmitters in the surrounding area. An uncertainty evaluation is presented, considering that the main broadcast stations reduced their transmitted power to comply with the regulatory limits throughout the observatory area. A discussion is done about uncertainty of measurement result and its use or not in both precautionary measure and sanctioning process applied by regulatory authority.
