The Possible Exposure of Children to Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields in the Home

摘要

This paper aims to analyze common magnetic field exposure situations to children in the home, to determine possibly relevant sources. Part of the data presented here derives from measurements performed in projects in Finland and Italy. In the home, the important sources of children's exposure are electrical systems and devices. In conclusion we can say that it is quite easy to find exposure levels that exceed 0.3-0.4 μT in the home.
