Abstract
Authors evaluate electromagnetic field exposure in the low-frequency range (5-30,000 Hz) in electric power stations and substations of petroleum processing plant. According to the measured values and the reference exposure limits considered, 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 the low-frequency range (5–30,000 Hz) in electric power stations and substations of a petroleum processing plant. Based on measured values and the reference exposure limits considered, the authors concluded operators should be exposed without adverse effects.
Outcomes measured
- Measured low-frequency electromagnetic field exposure levels (5–30,000 Hz) compared with reference exposure limits
- Conclusion regarding likelihood of adverse effects based on limits
Limitations
- No quantitative exposure measurements reported in the abstract
- No details on measurement methods, locations, or time-averaging provided
- No sample size or number of measurements reported
- Health outcomes were not directly assessed; conclusion is based on comparison to reference limits
