THEORETICAL PRECONDITIONS FOR THE MONITORING OF ACTIVE AND REACTIVE INTENSITY OF LOW-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Pages 112-117
Electromagnetic fields have intensified in residential areas due to higher electricity consumption rates. The adverse effect of low-frequency electromagnetic fields produced on the human environment is well-known.The main sources of low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the urban environment include power lines, transformer boxes, electricity distribution hubs, electricity grids, traffic flows, etc.Presently, low-frequency electromagnetic fields are monitored by taking measurements of peak values of electric and magnetic fields at different distances from sources of radiation. The energy parameters and the nature of low-frequency electromagnetic fields are poorly covered in the academic literature.The authors find it useful to develop new approaches to the environmental monitoring of electromagnetic fields and to study patterns of distribution of low-frequency electromagnetic fields.The authors demonstrate the relationship between the magnitude and direction of active and reactive intensity of an electromagnetic field based on the polarization of electromagnetic waves and the distance to the source.The need to identify the active and reactive intensity of electromagnetic fields in residential areas and to select the most effective means and methods of protection are evident. The authors make an attempt to identify the energy parameters of the EMF, to develop new theoretical propositions, methodologies, techniques and tools for the monitoring of electromagnetic safety of residential areas, which may cause revision of the effective regulatory framework.Approaches proposed by the authors help identify the characteristics of electromagnetic fields and sources that make a maximum contribution to excessive electromagnetic pollution, and develop the most effective tips and techniques aimed at reduction of negative effects of electromagnetic fields.
