| Summary: | Introduction: In this modern era, electromagnetic waves are playing a crucial role in our lives. An electric field is generated around the source of electromagnetic waves like mobile phone transmission towers, radio towers, TV towers, etc., which affects human beings living around them. The sources are increasing as we are regularly using devices that emit EM waves.
Methods: to study the effects of non-ionizing EM radiation on the skin of human being, the electric field around the transmiison tower is calculated. When this external electric field incident on the body of human being, it penetrates inside the skin of human being. The penetrated electric field is calculated at different depth inside the skin. With the help of this penetrated electric field, the specif
ic absorption rate inside the skin is also calculated for various height of transmission tower. The impact of non-ionizing EM radiation on the skin is predominantly associated with thermal effects. The extent of these effects depends on the intensity, duration, and proximity of the exposure.
Results: In this manuscript, the specific absorption rate (SAR) is calculated inside the skin at the variable depth of the epidermis layer of human beings. The transmission towers of EM waves are taken at different heights. It is observed that the tower that has the minimum height produces more electric field inside the skin as compared to the longer-height tower.
Conclusion: The amount of energy absorption by the tissues of the skin is higher for the transmission tower of 50 m height. The energy absorption by the tissues may become harmful for the health of the skin. |
