Abstract

Abstract Summary: Magnetic Field Exposure in Cars

Overview

In a thorough study focusing on the magnetic fields within different types of cars, measurements were conducted to analyze the exposure levels of passengers while driving.

Findings

• The study involved electric, petrol, and hybrid cars, measuring the magnetic flux densities inside these vehicles.
• Comparative analysis showed that all car types had magnetic flux densities less than 2.6 μT.
• The results indicated that magnetic fields in petrol and hybrid cars were similar, whereas electric cars generally exhibited slightly lower magnetic field levels.

Conclusion

It was determined that the magnetic field levels inside these cars were well below the advised 3% guideline for the general population and individuals with pacemakers, showing minimal risks associated with electromagnetic field exposure during typical urban driving conditions.
