| Abstract |
26 experienced linemen were studied for two days while they performed simulated, routine inspection of insulators on steel poles carrying a 400kV power line. The first day the inspection was performed on a power line in service. Mean exposure was estimated to be 28kV/m and 23.3µT respectively. The second day the same work was performed on an identical power line which was not in service. The possible effects of exposure were studied using automated behavioral performance tests, EEG, a mood scale and a questionnaire for the assessment of subjective symptoms. Blood samples were also collected for each subject. The analysis did not, however, reveal any signiicant difference between the two conditions which could be attributed to exposure to electromagnetic fields. |
