Monitoring Electromagnetic Field Exposures from High Voltage Transmission Lines: A GUI-Based Software System

This study investigates the potential health effects of electrical and magnetic fields generated by high voltage power transmission lines (HVTLs), with a particular focus on farmers who are exposed to these fields in different weather conditions. HVTLs emit low frequency electromagnetic fields that have been shown to be harmful to human health. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness about the risks associated with living in close proximity to HVTLs. The main objective of this study is to develop a GUI-based software system that enables the communication of electromagnetic field exposures using various parameters, including different climate conditions affecting the electric field, the effects of electromagnetic fields on people of different ages, and the identification of areas that require additional safety measures through the development of an appropriate mathematical model. To achieve this goal, the study integrates the GUI with various sensors and user-defined functionality. The developed software system provides valuable insights into the potential health effects of HVTLs by generating output electromagnetic field data that can be used to identify likely disorder statistics. The study utilizes data from reputable sources such as the WHO and ICNIRP to inform the analysis of disorder statistics. The findings of this study contribute to the ongoing discussion surrounding the potential health effects of HVTLs and highlight the importance of developing effective tools for monitoring and communicating electromagnetic field exposures. The developed GUI-based software system represents a significant step forward in this direction, providing a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and the general public.
