Difficulties in applying numerical simulations to an evaluation of occupational hazards caused by electromagnetic fields

Figures & data

Figure 1. Virtual model of Electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure scenario created with the human virtual model CIOP-MAN in a sitting posture and a model of a dielectric sealer.[26,29]

Figure 2. The comparison of simulation (solid lines) and measurement (dash lines) results of spatial distribution of an unperturbed E-field in front of dielectric sealer.

Note: Reference value = highest measured E-field value for line 1; line 1 = at a distance of 30 cm from the powered electrode; line 2 = at a distance of 60 cm.

Figure 3. Relative values of the whole body averaged (WBA) SAR in various human body models (bars) under various grounding conditions (reference value – HUGO insulated model), with the uncertainty of numerical simulations (whiskers).

Figure 4. Relative values of localised (10 g) SAR in head (H), trunk (T) and legs (L), (bars) under various grounded human body models (reference value – head of the HUGO model); with the uncertainty of numerical simulations (whiskers).
