| Description | There is a lot of epidemiological studies showing possible effects of magnetic fields on the living systems. The ICNIRP limit for maximal magnetic field exposure was established by WHO to protect people before not-fully understood and not-fully proved harmful magnetic field effect on human. The public transportation is a place where we meet magnetic fields. We measured magnetic fields in tramways, trolleys and buses in Brno city, tramways, trolley and buses in Ostrava city and subway and tramways in Prague. In addition the magnetic fields in intercity trains were measured. Our results stated that the measured values do not exceed the ICNIRPs limit. |
