Safety of High Speed Guided Ground Transportation Systems: The Biological Effectsof Maglev Magnetic Field Exposures

摘要

The purpose of the study was to simulate the magnetic fields that passengers andrailway workers could be exposed to during normal operation of the German TransRapid TR-07 maglev electromagnetic attractive system (EMS) vehicle. The report describes the investigation of selected biological effects on transformed human cancer cell lines, and rats, resulting from exposure to simulated MFs. The simulated maglev magnetic fields and their individual AC and DC components were tested at and above those MF intensities measured in the passenger compartment of the TR-07 vehicle.
