چکیده
This article defines the theoretical maximum electric and magnetic field strengths and induced leg currents that people could be exposed to at MF broadcasting frequencies, without the basic restrictions being exceeded. The article is based on a contract report, prepared for BBC World Service by the Radiation Protection Division of the UK Health Protection Agency (HPA). An overview of this HPA report is provided by Mike Hate of BBC World Service.

متن کاملPenetration of lightning MF signals to the upper ionosphere over VLF ground-based transmitters
[1] The MF data recorded by the low-altitude satellite DEMETER have been used to survey the MF waves around the Earth. A global map of the MF emissions indicates that there exists a wave activity in the frequency range 2–2.5 MHz above the main powerful VLF ground-based transmitters operating in the frequency range 18–50 kHz. It is shown that this is due to the high-frequency part of whistlers i...
متن کاملRadio Hazard Safety Assessment for Marine Ship Transmitters: Measurements Using a New Data Collection Method and Comparison with ICNIRP and ARPANSA Limits
We investigated the levels of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) emitted from marine ship transmitters. In this study, we recorded the radio frequency (RF) electric field (EF) levels emitted from transmitters from a marine vessel focusing on the areas normally occupied by crew members and passengers. Previous studies considered radiation hazard safety assessment for marine vessels...
متن کاملSymptoms in Swiss adolescents in relation to exposure from fixed site transmitters: a prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND There is public concern regarding potential health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by fixed site transmitters. We therefore investigated whether self-reported general well-being in adolescents is affected by RF-EMF exposure from mobile phone base stations (downlink) and broadcast transmitters (TV and radio). METHODS In a prospective cohort study, 4...
متن کاملOccurrence of Mycosis Fungoides in an Iranian Chemical Victim of the Iran–Iraq War with a Long-term Follow-Up: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Persistent antigenic stimulation has been claimed to play a role in the development of this malignancy. We aimed to show the role of sulfur mustard in the pathogenesis of MF. A 45-year-old man with MF is introduced herein. He was a victim of chemical exposure in 1987 during the Iran–Iraq war. He developed skin lesions ...
