Electrical and Biological Effects of Transmission Lines: A Review.
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6933098
This booklet describes the electrical effects of ac and dc transmission lines and reviews the state-of-the-art knowledge on the possible biologial effects of such lines. Electrical effects are defined as those resulting from electric and magnetic fields and corona. The fields can induce currents and voltages in plants and animals. Corona produces audible noise, electromagnetic interference, and small amounts of oxidants (e.g. ozone). The possible biologic effects of these electrical parameters and practices used to mitigate adverse effects are described. Field effects on cardiac pacemakers, fences, irrigation equipment, and flammable materials are considered. 100 references.
