  • Title: Current densities in a pregnant woman model induced by simultaneous ELF electric and magnetic field exposure.
    Author: Cech R, Leitgeb N, Pediaditis M.
    Journal: Phys Med Biol; 2008 Jan 07; 53(1):177-86. PubMed ID: 18182695.
    Abstract:
    The pregnant woman model SILVY was studied to ascertain to what extent the electric current densities induced by 50 Hz homogeneous electric and magnetic fields increase in the case of simultaneous exposure. By vectorial addition of the electric current densities, it could be shown that under worst case conditions the basic restrictions recommended by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines are exceeded within the central nervous system (CNS) of the mother, whereas in sole field exposure they are not. However, within the foetus the induced current densities do not comply with basic restrictions, either from single reference-level electric fields or from simultaneous exposure to electric and magnetic fields. Basic limits were considerably exceeded.
