In cell-free wireless networks, multiple connectivity options and technologies are available to serve each user. Traditionally, such options are ranked and selected solely based on the network performance they yield; however, additional information such as electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure could be considered. In this work, we explore the trade-offs between network performance and EMF exposure in a typical indoor scenario, finding that it is possible to significantly reduce the latter with a minor impact on the former. We further find that surrogate models represent an efficient and effective tool to model the network behavior.
