Abstract
Authors evaluate electromagnetic field exposure (in the range (5-30,000 Hz) in control board and switchboard rooms of petrochemical plants. According to measured values and international guidelines, they conclude that operators should be exposed without adverse effects.
AI evidence extraction
Structured fields below were generated from the paper’s abstract and metadata to make the evidence easier to inspect. Automated extraction may be incomplete or incorrect; verify important details against the original paper.
Main findings
Electromagnetic field exposure was evaluated in control board and switchboard rooms at petrochemical plants across 5–30,000 Hz. Based on measured values and comparison with international guidelines, the authors conclude operators should be exposed without adverse effects.
Outcomes measured
- Measured electromagnetic field exposure levels (5–30,000 Hz)
- Assessment versus international guideline limits
- Conclusion regarding adverse effects risk
Limitations
- No sample size reported in abstract
- No quantitative exposure measurements provided in abstract
- Health outcomes were not directly measured; conclusion is based on comparison to guidelines
