Mapeamento e caracterização dos níveis de campos magnéticos em ambientes residenciais e apresentação do mapa de risco

Abstract

This article aims to characterize levels of magnetic fields in the frequency of 60Hz in a residential environment, presenting a methodology for the preparation of the risk map these levels. The human being is exposed to many levels of magnetic fields, because the environment in which we live have multiple sources of electric and magnetic fields of low frequency associated with the use of electrical power, including many appliances. A human exposure to levels higher than those recommended by national and international standards, such as NBR 15415 and RN n° 398 of ANEEL, can cause biological effects such as stimulation of nerve cells in the brain, peripheral nerves and muscles. So this article tends alert through a mapping of existing equipment in a residence levels of magnetic fields that the general public is exposed by obtaining a risk map with the field values.
