Assessment of Emf (electromagnetic Fields) and Biological Effects in Arc Welding Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Ongoing public discussions on adverse effects of electromagnetic fields on the human body and international as well as European legislation require the definition of assessment methods for these fields and their biological effects. This is of particular importance in special areas like arc welding where high field-strengths occur and simple procedures to show compliance with the exposure limits are generally not applicable. This paper gives an overview of the field properties in arc welding applications, the relevant coupling principles to the human body, permissible exposure values and possible assessment procedures.

Effects on the Human Body and Assessment Methods of Exposure to Electro-Magnetic-Fields Caused by Spot Welding
Ongoing public discussions on adverse effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the human body and international as well as European legislation require the evaluation of workplaces with respect to EMF and therefore the development of assessment methods for these fields and their biological effects. This is of particular importance in special areas like resistance welding where high field-stre...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields: Carcinogenic and Other Biological Effects
In the electromagnetic spectrum, structural damage to living tissues per unit of absorbed energy tends to increase with the decrease of a wavelength which is evident not only for ultraviolet and ionizing radiation but also for the infrared and visible light. By causing thermal damage after absorbing energies that would be harmless for radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (EMF), tissues are eve...
