Abstract :
Recent epidemiological studies suggest a link between transport magnetic fields and certain adverse health effects. Here we present a short review of epidemiological research among transport workers and results of waveform measurements of complex "real-world" magnetic fields encountered onboard DC- and AC-powered transport systems. The obtained measurement information allowed quantitative characterization of specific magnetic field features that could be biologically plausible: frequency and intensity "windows", interaction with DC-field, geometry (e.g. polarization) and other aspects.
