Measurement Of Electromagnetic Field Radiation In The Internet Halls And Educational Computer Laboratories

Abstract

There are more concerns about possible health effects related to electromagnetic fields from computer monitors and other video display terminals because of the widespread using of computers in laboratories ,offices and internet halls. This research aims to detect the effect of electromagnetic field radiations in these halls and laboratories and study the successful ways of minimizing its negative health effect on human health. The research has been performed on both the mathematical calculations and practical measurements. The obtaining results show that the practical measurements are consistent with the mathematical calculations results. Comparison of these results with the safety standard guideline limits shows that they are within the acceptable exposuring limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP ) and that means there is no health risk from exposure to these fields if the exposure is within the acceptable limits.
