Electric and magnetic fields

Increasing electrification brings increased human exposures to electric and magnetic fields, commonly called EMFs, and growing evidence suggests that exposure to even low frequency, low energy, electric and magnetic fields may be related to adverse health effects. This paper focuses on magnetic fields and strategies that address them. The challenges faced by scientists in understanding magnetic field interactions with humans, and of mitigating their effects, are discussed. The management of magnetic fields created by power systems are discussed including shielding and interference technology.<>
