Abstract/Summary
|
-
In Germany, the transition from nuclear to renewable energy sources for power production leads to the expansion of the existing power grid systems and to constructions of several new high voltage AC and DC power lines across the country. This will bring about an increased exposure of the population to static and ELF electric and magnetic fields. Therefore, research activities are planned to follow up the increased exposure and the possible biological effects. The Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) has launched the research programme "Radiation Protection in Power Grid Expansion". One of the research aspects, which will be examined in more detail, deals with the perception and action thresholds of low-frequency fields.
