Do Power Frequency Magnetic Fields Cause Leukemia in Children?

American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 1995
The possibility of a causal relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields and childhood leukemia has been studied for more than 10 years. This review evaluates the epidemiologic findings relevant to a possible causal association between exposure to power frequency magnetic fields during childhood and leukemia.

Side effects of the power frequency magnetic field mitigation

2017 10th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE), 2017
The paper aims to assess side effects which occur as a result of measures adopted to reduce the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of overhead power lines, respectively using the phases' transposition for double circuit transmission lines. Practical considerations about the accuracy of magnetic field calculation were discussed considering the real ...

Measurement of power frequency magnetic fields in different environments

2000 10th Mediterranean Electrotechnical Conference. Information Technology and Electrotechnology for the Mediterranean Countries. Proceedings. MeleCon 2000 (Cat. No.00CH37099), 2005
The power companies as well as the public are becoming increasingly interested in the possible link between exposure to power frequency magnetic fields and human health. Therefore, special attention is given to measurements of the magnetic field level and their comparison to the established or recommended limits according to national standards in ...

Exposures to power-frequency magnetic fields in the home

Journal of Radiological Protection, 1994
Power-frequency magnetic fields in homes come from a variety of sources, internal (appliances and domestic wiring) and external (electricity distribution and transmission circuits). The authors present results from a survey of the fields encountered at home by 258 adults over one week each.

Magnetic field environments at power frequency inside modern buildings

2013 Asia-Pacific Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (APEMC), 2013
This paper presents the results of indoor ELF magnetic field environments measured for three kinds of place (home, office, and school) using various electrical devices. Both the fields emitted by devices in isolation and in composite environments were measured.

Power frequency magnetic fields and computer VDU interference phenomena

Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Bioelectromagnetism (Cat. No.98TH8269), 2002
The interference by ambient 50 Hz magnetic fields on computer monitors or VDUs is an issue which has become prominent in recent times due to the widespread use of personal computers. Various options exist to resolve the interference problem by dealing either with the VDU or with the magnetic field sources including the selection of suitable locations ...

The indoor magnetic field environments at the power frequency

First IEE International Conference on Building Electrical Technology (BETNET), 2004
With more and more electrical appliances come into the offices and homes, the indoor magnetic field at 50/60 Hz have been significantly increased due to the use of electricity. Long time exposure of human to strong magnetic fields is definitely harmful to the health.

Survey of residential power-frequency magnetic fields in Melbourne, Australia

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2014
Pooled analyses of epidemiological studies have reported an association between prolonged residential exposure to power-frequency magnetic fields of >0.4 μT and an increased risk in childhood leukaemia. In order to compare residential magnetic fields in Australia with those in other countries, a survey was conducted in 296 randomly selected homes in ...

Identification of Power Frequency Industrial Magnetic Field Sources for Shielding Purposes

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2004
In any industrial installation power frequency electric systems generate extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields. Field amplitude values must fulfill the limits related to health effects or to disturbances on electromagnetic devices and a shielding system could be necessary.

Canceling the Power Frequency Magnetic and Electric Fields of Power Lines

IETE Journal of Education, 2013
AbstractMethods are presented for the cancellation of the power line's power frequency magnetic and electric fields at pre-specified points close to the line corridor. For canceling the magnetic field, the method is based on the use of three auxiliary conductors constituting two mitigating loops.
