Analysis of Human Exposure to Electric and Magnetic Fields While Charging and Driving an Electric Vehicle
摘要
The transition to electric vehicles is a promising strategy to reduce or eliminate harmful emissions, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, from internal combustion vehicles. While electric vehicles offer environmental benefits, their operation involves the generation of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in their immediate vicinity. Although the biological effects of EMFs have been extensively studied, the specific health risks to humans remain uncertain. In electric vehicles, occupants are exposed to artificial EMFs due to their close proximity to high-capacity electrical systems operating for extended periods. Recognizing these potential concerns, electric vehicle manufacturers have incorporated various technological solutions during the design and manufacturing processes to mitigate EMF exposure. This study will conduct experimental measurements of the electromagnetic field generated by an electric vehicle under a range of operational conditions.
