Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

This undergraduate thesis aims to present material on what an electromagnetic field is, its types and effects on the human body, examining health and safety legislation and measuring electromagnetic fields in accordance with it. The first part of the paper is devoted to an explanation of Maxwell's equations, then in the next part: an overview of the types of radiation. In the third chapter we turn to established legislation and establish hygienic limits and examine the types of exposure. In the final part we will take measurements at selected locations and evaluate the results based on the established norms.
