ABSTRACT

Recently, concerns about health risks exposed to electromagnetic fields have been brought inthe safety of electric power lines. A number of governmental and international organizationshave advised to avoid the magnetic field exposure to the schools and residential areas. Someepidemiologic studies showed that electromagnetic fields should not exceed the exposure limitsof 2-3mG to the people living near high-voltage transmission lines.In this study, the principles, ranges and survey methods of the assessment for power-frequency electromagnetic fields were reviewed from the relevant research papers anddocuments. The ranges of electromagnetic fields were determined from 50m to 100m and havebeen defined according to the properties of each electric power lines and a new methodologywas suggested in this study. It would be necessary to develop and improve specific assessmentmethods for various high-voltage transmission lines projects.
