• The biological effects of power frequency electric and magnetic fields have been a source of concern for the past many years, especially since 1979 when an epidemiological study report suggested a positive relationship between childhood cancer and exposure to power frequency electromagnetic fields from residential overhead power lines. The extensive studies of dosimetry and biological effects have since been carried out. It is believed that power frequency electromagnetic fields does induce biological effects (no serious threat to human health). The clear explanations for the possible interaction mechanisms remain to be identified. The problem with the study on dosimetry has been lack of theory that applies to the physical interaction of power frequency electric and magnetic fields with humans. At present, it seems to be widely accepted that the density of induced currents in the human body can be used as the decisive parameter in evaluating human exposure to these fields. In order to predict the distribution of induced current density inside a human body exposed to electric fields, magnetic fields, or electric and magnetic fields that coexist, the precise measurements of electromagnetic environments are necessary. According to necessity, the fields have to be characterized in terms of strength, orientation and phase angle. This paper presents: (1) Measurements of power frequency electromagnetic environments in 187 kV substation yard and in the vicinity of the ground under 187 kV line using laboratory-made instruments; (2) Development of magnetic field exposure monitor; and (3) Review of state of the art of theoretical dosimetry for electric fields, magnetic fields and combined electric and magnetic fields, and evaluation method of human exposure for the future research.
