极低频（ELF）磁场的潜在暴露进行了调查，以回应工人对工资办公室环境中自然流产风险明显增加的担忧。该办公室的关注集中在视频显示终端（VDTs）的使用上，已调查这是妇女不良生殖结果的潜在原因。在这项调查中，磁场源进行了评估，使用手持式测量仪。还使用Emdex数据记录剂量计确定了15名在发薪区工作的妇女的全轮班个人照射。平均而言，工人在工资办公室区域暴露于ELF磁场的范围为1.0至6.5 mG，平均值为3.2 +/- 1.5 mG。这项研究的结果表明，ELF磁场的许多来源，包括打印机，复印机和配电系统，可以有助于工人在办公室环境中的暴露。(C)1994 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
Potential exposures to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields were investigated in response to worker concerns about an apparent increased spontaneous abortion risk in a payroll office environment. Concern in this office centered on the use of video display terminals (VDTs), which have been investigated as a potential cause of adverse reproductive outcomes among women. In this investigation, magnetic field sources were evaluated using a hand-held survey meter. Emdex datalogging dosimeters were also used to determine full shift personal exposures for 15 women working in the payroll area. On average, the exposures of workers to ELF magnetic fields in the payroll office area ranged from 1.0 to 6.5 mG with a mean of 3.2 +/- 1.5 mG. The results of this study indicate that many sources of ELF magnetic fields, including printers, photocopiers, and the electrical distribution system, can contribute to a worker's exposure in an office environment.
