A model to assess personal exposure to ELF magnetic fields from common household sources.

摘要: Emission data are inadequate to characterize the contribution of a source total personal extremely-low-frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure. In this paper, simple model is proposed that takes into consideration position subject with respect and duration The spatially averaged over whole body exposed integrated time. Exposure regarded as significant if it approaches or exceeds 400 microT-h/year. By use method, ELF fields generated by several household sources were compared levels residential external sources, assess their relative significance. Some common domestic electrical appliances found be responsible for an exposure comparable from power lines. When used electric blankets, apparently conflicting findings may reconciled.
