The revised electromagnetic fields directive and worker exposure in environments with high magnetic flux densities review

Endpoint

• dosimetry/technology: magnetic flux densities in working environments of welding, induction heating, electricity supply, hospitals, and MRI
• guidelines/safety: origin and contents of the 2004 and revised 2013 EU Directive 2004/40/EC, comparison of MF exposure levels from the literature with the limits set in the revised directive

Exposure

• • 0 Hz–1 MHz
  • DC
  • 50/60 Hz
  • magnetic field
  • static magnetic field
  • low frequency
  • intermediate frequency
• • power transmission line
  • electrical substation
  • TMS (transcranial stimulation)
  • high volt./current device/welder
  • MRI
• • occupational
