Exposure to Electromagnetic Environment in Vicinity to Power Transmission Lines and Possible Health Effects: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possible relationship between human exposure to electromagnetic environment in the vicinity to high and extra high voltage (EHV) power transmission lines and their adverse health effects has become a subject to considerable public interest and concern. The preparation of this review have been carried out for the purpose of quantitative assessment of biological interaction and to evaluate the possible risks from exposure to low frequency fields under high voltage power transmission lines. Further this review have been extended to the analysis of corona generated space charge effects on

Adverse Effect of Electromagnetic Fields from Power Transmission Lines ( A Review )
31 Abstract—The electric and magnetic fields are originated by the alternating currents in the power transmission lines and known as electromagnetic fields (EMFs). The voltage is responsible for generating the electric field and the magnetic field produces by the current that flows in the transmission lines. Many epidemiologic studies in last decades focus on the effect of the continuous and oc...
