A FOCUS ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD ON THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT ONBOARD SHIPS WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

The electromagnetic spectrum starts at the electrostatic and magneto static fields, crosses electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic radio and light waves until it reaches the level of ionizing γ radiations. Depending on their intensity and frequency, electromagnetic fields are useful or harmful for humans. The paper attempts at analyzing the intensity level of an electromagnetic field under which there can't appear any biologic effects, as compared to the intensity value of the same electromagnetic field whose exceeding triggers harmful effects. All the aspects concerning this issue are considered for a ship where we deal with a computer-based, technology-governed activity - sources of magnetic and electric field of variable intensities themselves. There are benefits to the electromagnetic field as well.
