Full human body exposure assessment in low frequency electromagnetic fields

摘要

This paper investigates the electric field and current density induced in a human body when exposed to low frequency electromagnetic fields. A numerical technique based on the Finite Element Method and electromagnetic quasistatic approximations is developed to compute both the fields generated by low frequency sources and the fields induced inside a human body due to direct or indirect exposure scenarios. A case study is conducted to investigate exposure situations pertaining to the safety of human beings in the vicinity of high intensity low frequency electromagnetic fields.
