ICON3E- Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Effects on Human Body Based on ICNIRP Guideline in Railway Environments

Growing of new railway infrastructure in Malaysia poses challenges in terms of electromagnetic field (EMF) interferences. This radiation comes across wired and wireless transmitters/receivers, electrical/electronic devices, and systems. Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Effects on Human Body Based on ICNIRP Guideline in Railway Environments has been measured was conducted from 9 KHz to 6 GHz using three (3) different antennas (Loop, Tri-Log and Horn) and analysed. Four (4) railway stations have been identified as the worst-case location and the results have been compared with the ICNIRP guideline limit. Based on the results, the Electric-Field (E-field) result from the measurements is below than ICNIRP’s permissible limit. The percentage reaching ICNIRP level from measured E-field is more than 20%.
