Radiation exposure from electric power lines and methods for reducing the magnetic field generated by distribution network

The characteristics of current density induced inside human body under 60 HZ extremely low frequency magnetic fields are shown. Calculations have been done by applying one technique of simulating the induced currents in the human body, using a MATLAB program. We created a phantom experiment; human model was composed of organ (homogeneous brain), whose shape was expressed by spheroid. The obtained results can detect the degree of danger due to the induced currents from EMF. We presented the recommended actions and the methods for reducing the magnetic fields generated by overhead power lines. For passive loop method, a reduction algorithm is described and related equations for magnetic fields reduction are explained.
