ICON3E- Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Effects on Human Body Based on ICNIRP Guideline in Railway Environments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Growing of new railway infrastructure in Malaysia poses challenges in terms of electromagnetic field (EMF) interferences. This radiation comes across wired and wireless transmitters/receivers, electrical/electronic devices, and systems. Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Effects on Human Body Based on ICNIRP Guideline in Railway Environments has been measured was conducted from 9 KHz to 6 GHz using three (3) different antennas (Loop, Tri-Log and Horn) and analysed. Four (4) railway stations have been identified as the worst-case location and the results have been compared with the ICNIRP guideline limit. Based on the results, the Electric-Field (E-field) result from the measurements is below than ICNIRP’s permissible limit. The percentage reaching ICNIRP level from measured E-field is more than 20%.
