Nowadays it is experimentally proven that electromagnetic fields negatively affect immunologic reactivity of body. Research data
points to the fact that immunogenesis processes are violated and suppressed when being affected by electromagnetic fields.
When being affected by electromagnetic fields, changes in the pituitary adrenal system may occur. When being affected by
electromagnetic fields, pituitary adrenal system is stimulated and therefore the amount of adrenalin in the blood rises and can
trigger blood clotting. It is acknowledged that hypothalamus – pituitary – adrenal cortex system reacts on environmental interaction
immediately and consistently.
Reproductive system disorders are usually connected with changes in its regulation within the nervous and neuroendocrine systems.
This has been shown in research concerning the pituitary gonadotropic activity condition as it is affected by electromagnetic fields.
Continuous EM field irradiation leads to lower pituitary activity.
Many scientists refer EM fields to teratogens that influence women’s health during pregnancy and fetus development. It is thought
that electromagnetic fields can, for example, lead to physical defects of fetus. The fetus is very vulnerable at infancy during period of
implantation and early organogenesis.
It is proven that fetus sensitivity to EM field is notably higher in mothers and may cause damage during it’s development. Results of
epidemiological studies allow us to estimate that pregnant women who are in contact with electromagnetic field might suffer from
premature birth. It might negatively affect fetus development and even cause congenital malfunctions of fetus.
Electromagnetic Field in Facilities
Electric field strength of 50 Hz commercial frequency in facilities (at 0.2 m distance from windows and walls, 0.5-1.8 m high from
floor) should not exceed 500 V/m (kilovolt per meter).
Magnetic field strength of 50 Hz commercial frequency in facilities (at 0.2 m distance from windows and walls, 0.5-1.5 m high from
floor) should not exceed 10 mcTl (microtesla).
Electric and magnetic fields of 50 Hz commercial frequency can be evaluated when domestic appliances are turned off and local
lighting is turned on. The electric field is evaluated when ambient lighting is off and magnetic field is evaluated when ambient
lighting is on.
Electromagnetic Field in Living Area
The electrical field of 50 Hz commercial frequency from overhead transmission lines and other objects on the territory of residential
constructions should not exceed 1 kV/m (kilovolt per meter) 1.8 m high from ground.
The magnetic field strength of 50 Hz commercial frequency from overhead transmission lines and other objects on the territory of
residential constructions should not exceed 25 mcTl (microtesla) 1.8 m high from ground.
Electromagnetic Field from Domestic Appliances
In home, domestic appliances are sources of electromagnetic exposure. A person should evaluate their effect at a distance 10 ± 0.1
cm while standing in front, behind and next to the object (except TV).
