An In Situ and In Silico Evaluation of Biophysical Effects of 27 MHz Electromagnetic Whole Body Humans Exposure Expressed by the Limb Current

Table 4

The correlation between the electric field parameters and the limb induced current measured at volunteers () exposed to the electromagnetic field (27 MHz) near the rod antenna (all measurements: 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 2c; = 144 cases).

Strong, statistically significant correlations (, ) are in bold; the parameters of the calculated unperturbed -field related to the absolute (ABS) value of the -field root-mean-square (RMS) value: (BA-TV-L2/L3): the -field calculated at the top of the volunteer body, along the measurement line L2 or L3, respectively, for exposure variant 1 or 2 (as shown at Figure 1, the line covering the main axis of the volunteer’s torso); (BA-AV-L2/L3): the arithmetic average value of the -field calculated along the main axis of the volunteer’s body, line L2 or L3, respectively, for exposure variant 1 or 2, ranging between 30 cm from the ground and volunteer’s body height; (FB-0.7VH-L1/L2): the -field calculated in line L1 or L2, located in front of the volunteer’s chest (variant 1 or 2); (D2013/35/EU): the maximum in space of -field value of field affecting the workers’ body in exposure variant 1 or 2, according to Directive 2103/35/EU; -Pearson correlation coefficients and significance level .
