CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASSESSMENT OF THE EXPOSURE DEGREE IN ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELD OF HUMAN BODY

Abstract

The paper present a few aspects regarding to the practical evaluation of electromagnetic environment  inside working spaces or public areas where is opening acces for humans. Degree of exposure is assessed based on the determination of values for the electric or magnetic field sizes. These real values are compared with the limit admitted by the regulations. It can thereby determine if the existing electromagnetic environment is or not dangerous to human health. Although there are no certainties and confirmations generalized about negative effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields, negative action thereof on biological systems is quantified by threshold values of  electromagnetic field sizes and durations of critical exposure, effects being categorized generally as thermal and non-thermal. The work is based on the results of measurements on electric and magnetic field strength and statistical processing of data obtained.
