Abstract:

Living tissues are highly heterogeneous, with very specific properties; and in order to determine the interactions between electromagnetic fields generated by different sources to which we are exposed, it is imperative to be able to calculate the induced electromagnetic currents and to find out the resulting reactions. To apprehend the field nuisance on people’s health, this paper highlights some of these effects from a simulation study of biological tissues (muscle sample) subjected to the electromagnetic field created by a 440 kV HV line. Induced currents in these tissues and their effects on blood microcirculation will be emphasized
