Summary
Research has been underway for more than 15 years investigating the biological and physical interactions of power-frequency electric fields coupled to humans and animals through the air dielectric around electric-power facilities. Currently, fairly detailed analyses can be made for homogeneous human- and animal-shaped models standing on ground while exposed to a vertical electric field. Some data are available for ungrounded exposure conditions. However, little is known about the effects of the nonuniform electrical properties of living tissues on induced-current distributions. Recently, interest has also developed in the interaction of humans and animals with power-frequency magnetic fields. Little data are available, and only simple estimates, using homogeneous ellipsodial models, can be made at present. Relatively simple calculational techniques are available, however, to analyze two- and three-dimensional models of humans and animals, and it can be expected that considerable progress will be made in the next few years. 33 refs., 6 figs.
