  • Title: Electromagnetic fields: principles of exposure mitigation.
    Author: Falsaperla R, Spagnoli G, Rossi P.
    Journal: Int J Occup Saf Ergon; 2006; 12(2):195-200. PubMed ID: 16790177.
    Abstract:
    Basic principles of reducing exposure to electromagnetic fields are reviewed in this article. Measures to reduce exposure can be divided into organisational/administrative and technical/engineering actions. Both strategies are briefly analysed and the basic principles of the theory of shielding are presented. A definition of shielding effectiveness (SE) is given, and the results from the general Transmission Lines Theory are presented. Practical situations of shielding static and time-varying electric and magnetic fields are discussed on the basis of the physical properties of the fields and of the shield.
