摘要:Introduction of technogenic physical fields including electromagnetic fields (EMF) to the environment can have an adverse impact on both humans and environment. Development of safety tools protecting against EMF impact involves studying their intensity and assessing EMF spatial extent. This paper proposes a definition of an EMF technogenic impact zone (TIZ) concept based on the instruments lower sensitivity threshold. The paper gives the results of EMF TIZ width assessment based on the measurements of EMF electric and magnetic components intensity generated by power line communication (PLC) along its 200-meter section. The EMF TIZ width was found to be homogeneous along the PLC section. It is noted that the proposed interpretation of EMF TIZ and method of its determination can be generalized for other EMF sources as well, for example, for SHF-radiation sources, tele-and radio-transmission facilities, mobile communication antennas, etc.
