Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields (ELF-MFs) exposurelevel of housewives and the relation of residential environments with ELF-MFs exposure level in home.ELF-MFs measurements were performed for 58 housewives include 31 working women. Twenty-four hourspersonal MF exposure levels of housewives were slightly higher than working women as an arithmetic mean.However the median of 24 hours personal exposure levels for working women were significantly higher thanhousewives (p<0.05). The median of personal exposure levels due to the activity at home, working womenwere higher than housewives significantly (p<0.05). As a results of correlation of residential environments,such as their living environments, total income, type of water supply pipes, and distance from power linewith ELF-MFs exposure level in home was different from the type of residence (p<0.05). This study could beinformed as guidance for ELF-MFs exposure analysis in residential environment.
