This paper describes the development of estimating equation for under 16 aged children's exposure to habitat's magnetic field for 24 hours by using particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm, which was carried out by using the measured database collected from the exposure survey to Korean habitat's magnetic field as to under 16 aged Korean students such as preschooler, children in elementary school, and children in middle school. Sex, age, residence type, size of habitation site, distance from power line, and power transmission voltage are used as the input data of estimating 24 hour's personal exposure to magnetic field. And distribution of 24 hour's personal exposure to magnetic field, exposure characteristic to magnetic field, and exposure characteristic to magnetic field according to special conditions, are analyzed for under 16 aged children.

In this paper, we proposed an adaptive PSO(APSO) algorithm which changes parameter values with every recursion based on the conventional particle swam optimization(CPSO). In order to solve the optimization problem, the proposed APSO algorithm is applied to some functions, such as the De Jong function, Ackley function, Davis function and Griewank function. The superiority of the proposed APSO algorithm compared with the genetic algorithm(GA) is proved through the numerical experiment. Finally we applied the proposed algorithm to developing a function for personal magnetic field exposure based with real datas which are acquired based on the consumer research and field measuring instrument.

The objective of this survey is to characterize personal magnetic field exposure of the general population in Korea. Participants for the survey on magnetic field exposure were selected randomly in some occupations. Those wore the magnetic field meter for about 25∼28 hours and the measured data were stored in the meter. In this first step survey, the number of participant is 244 and for the second step, about 400 participants will be surveyed in the near future. The statistics of the 24-hour exposure data are the major concern of this survey. However the survey provided the opportunity to analyze exposures corresponding to different types of activities. It was analyzed by separating periods of time corresponding to the following activities: entire 24-hour period, in bed, at work and by occupation. Therefore the database will be able to be established to analyze the status of personal magnetic field exposure and safety.
