Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:285203

In response to a request from the County Tax Administrator, an investigation was begun into exposure to electric and magnetic fields at the Cape May County Board of Taxation (SIC-7389), Cape May Court House, New Jersey. Employees there suspected they were receiving high exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields. Measurements were taken with particular attention given to the areas around four large switchboards which were located directly behind the wall of the the tax office. At the outside corners of the building and in the parking lot outside, the magnetic field levels ranged from 0.1 to 10.7 milligauss (mG). At similar locations, electric field levels ranged from 1.9 to 6.9 volts/meter (V/m). Inside the building, magnetic and electric field levels ranged from 0.1 to 900mG and 1.4 to 5.7V/m, respectively.
