Abstract:
The authors have been investigating metrics of extremely low frequency magnetic field exposure under different circumstances. In this paper, we describe the properties of magnetic fields in homes, in the vicinity of powerlines, on trains and from a library security system. We conclude that there are key differences between each of these fields. This suggests that there may be a characterizable pattern for magnetic fields in different situations.
