Abstract

There has been increasing concern about the health effect of human body caused by the low frequency leakage field of household appliances. There are some commercial EM dosimeters for compliance test of ICNIRP guidelines, therefore it is possible to measure the reference level of exposure. In this study, we have calculated the exposure level using a magnetic field strength of around the IH cooker obtained by the three-axes measurements, and compared it with the results of the measuring instrument. As a result, it has confirmed that the exposure level evaluations corresponding to any guidelines are possible by applying the weighting functions for the flux density spectra.
