This tank-based animal study examined whether realistic electromagnetic fields (AC up to ~15 μT RMS; DC up to ~19.6 μT) affect flatfish behavior near simulated subsea power cable exposure. The authors report no attraction or avoidance of the EMF zone and no behavioral differences inside versus outside the exposed…

A laboratory experiment exposed embryos of three benthic egg-laying marine species to realistic electromagnetic fields generated by an alternating-current subsea power cable set-up (magnetic field 4–6 μT). Subtle effects were reported for Scyliorhinus canicula and Loligo vulgaris, including faster growth and…

This animal study examined thornback ray embryos chronically exposed to alternating-current electromagnetic fields (1.8–4.6 μT) across embryogenesis (~20 weeks), relevant to subsea power cables. Exposed embryos showed higher activity levels than non-exposed embryos, while no differences were reported for development…
Effects of Grounding on Body Voltage and Current in the Presence of Electromagnetic Fields

Jan 1, 2016
This test–retest study measured AC body voltage and current in 50 participants near a lamp and other household appliances, comparing ungrounded versus grounded conditions. Grounding was associated with a reported 58-fold reduction in AC body voltage. The authors report that currents during grounding were far below…
