ICNIRP Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Electric Fields Induced by Movement of the Human Body in a Static Magnetic Field and by Time-Varying Magnetic Fields Below 1 Hz guideline

By: International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)

Published in: Health Phys 2014; 106 (3): 418-425

Summary

The guidelines are established for the protection of workers against established adverse direct health effects arising from exposure to static magnetic fields and time-varying magnetic fields below 1 Hz and to avoid sensory effects which may be annoying and impair working ability. This includes, but is not limited to workers engaged in activities related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
