Several reports supported that continuous exposure to 60 Hz magnetic field (MF) induces testicular germ cell apoptosis in vivo. We recently evaluated duration- and dose-dependent effects of continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF on the testes in mice. BALB/c male mice were exposed to a 60 Hz MF at $100{\mu}T$ for 24 hours a day for 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks, and at 2, 20 or $200{\mu}T$ for 24 hours a day for 8 weeks. To induce the apoptosis of testicular germ cell in mice, the minimum dose is $20{\mu}T$ at continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF for 8 weeks, and the minimum duration is 6 weeks at continuous exposure of $100{\mu}T$. Continuous exposure to a 60 Hz MF might affect duration- and dose-dependent biological processes including apoptotic cell death and spermatogenesis in the male reproductive system of mice. The safety guideline of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) indicates that the permissible maximum magnetic flux density for general public exposure is $200{\mu}T$ at 60 Hz EMF (ICNIRP Guidelines, 2010). In the present study, we aimed to examine the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic genes regulated by the continuous exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ in Sprague-Dawley rats for 20 weeks. The continuous exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ does not affect the body and testicular weight in rats. However, exposure to 60 Hz MF significantly affects testicular germ cell apoptosis and sperm count. Further, the apoptosis-related gene was scrutinized after exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ for 20 weeks. We found that the message level of endonuclease G (EndoG) was greatly increased following the exposure to 60 Hz at $200{\mu}T$ compared with sham control. These data suggested that 60 Hz magnetic field induced testicular germ cell apoptosis through mitochondrial protein Endo G.

본 논문에서는 0.1[Hz]에서 60[Hz]의 저주파 자기장을 차폐할 수 있는 경량의 자기차폐실을 설계하고, 차폐실을 제작하여 차폐율을 측정하였다. 자기차폐실의 크기는 산업용 측정기기가 들어갈 수 있는 3.0[m](W)$\times$ 3.0[m](L)$\times$3.0[m](H)로 하였으며, 투자율이 높은 자성체의 직류차폐와 교류차폐특성, 도전성물질의 와전류에 의한 차폐율을 계산하였고, 설계된 결과로부터 차폐실의 구조 값을 구하였다. 설계된 차폐실의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 저주파 차폐실을 제작하고 차폐율을 측정하여 계산값과 비교하였다. 측정결과는 0.1[Hz]에서 5배 이상의 차폐율을 만족하였고, 60[Hz]에서는 86배였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제작한 자기차폐실은 저주파 자기차폐실로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

전기기기의 사용이 증가함에 따라 60Hz 전력선에서 발생되는 전자기장의 인체영향에 관한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그와 더불어 60Hz 자기장에 의해 두통, 불면증 등 정신 신경 생리학적 증상을 호소하는 사람들이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 증상이 자기장 노출에 의한 것인지 심리적 요인 때문인지에 대하여 확실한 원인규명이 되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 자기장 노출 시 생리학적 변화(심박수, 호흡수, 심박변이도, 뇌파의 알파, 베타파), 자각증상, 자기장 인지 여부를 동시에 측정하여 복합적으로 자각 증상 원인을 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 60Hz 12.5uT의 자기장을 일반인 군(16명)과 EHS 군(15명)을 대상으로 실제 노출 및 가상 노출을 하였다. 그 결과 알반인 군과 EHS 군 모두 60Hz 자기장 노출여부에 따른 생리학적 변화나 자각증상의 차이가 없었다. 또한 자기장 인지 정확도에서도 EHS 군이 일반인 군보다 인지를 잘한다고 볼 수 없었다. 그러므로 EHS 유발요인은 60Hz 자기장이 아니라 다른 심리적, 환경적 요인에 의한 것으로 사료된다.

As the technologies such as middle-range resonant WPT (wireless power transfer) advance that utilizes medium and low-frequency magnetic field, the importance of safety of such magnetic field is growing. The research on the effect of electromagnetic field on the human body has been mainly done on the GHz range of mobile phones, or 50~60Hz range of electric power systems. However, there has been relatively few works on the 100kHz~10MHz range used in the resonant wireless power transfer. Since there is a difference in the limiting value of magnetic field between widely used ICNIRP EMF guideline and IEEE C95.1 standard, there can be possible confusion when establishing EMF (Electromagnetic Field) standard on the wireless power transfer device in the future. In this paper, the induced current in the human body, which is the basic restriction of the EMF guideline, is calculated using Quasi-static FDTD method when 3D high-resolution human model is exposed to the 100kHz~10MHz magnetic field. Using this result, the feasibility of the magnetic field reference level in the ICNIRP guideline is analyzed.

This paper analysed the characteristics of current density induced inside human body by 60 Hz extremely low frequency magnetic fields according to varying conductivities of human model. Human model was composed of several organs and other parts, whose shapes were expressed by spheroids or cylinders. Organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, liver and intestines were taken into account. Applying the boundary element method to the human model, we estimated effects on the induced current distribution due to differences of the organ conductivity and shape. We find organ conductivity influences most and a cross section area and a position of organ also gives effects.

Shielding methods on ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic fields may include the use of induced currents, modification of magnetic field flux patterns using high permeability and/or high conductivity materials, and others. The magnetic shielding properties of enclosures can be utilized to reduce the magnetic field of current carrying conductors. In this paper, to get a more practical understanding of shielding phenomena, we have investigated the magnetic field reduction by means of 3 dimensional numerical analysis and experiments. We found copper could reduce flux density more then permalloy in both cases of box shield and cylindrical shield. Iron under l0$\mu$T of 1 phase could reduce flux density about $20\%$ more than silicon steel, but both of them under 50$\mu$T has a similar reduction rate of $10\%$. The 3 phase horizontal model gave the highest reduction rate and the 1mm thickness iron under 10$\mu$T of 3 phase lines did lowest.

The effects of exposure to an extremely low-frequency magnetic field (25 Hz 20G) on animal cells have been studied. In some reports, stimulation was performed for fixed frequency and variations in magnitude; however, animal-cell experiments have established that both parameters play an important role. The present work undertook the modeling, simulation, and development of a uniform-magnetic-field generation system with variable frequency and stimulation intensity (0-60 Hz, 1-25G) for experimentation with cell cultures in situ. The results showed a coefficient of variation less than 1 % of the magnetic-field dispersion at the working volume, which is consistent with the corresponding simulation results demonstrating a uniform magnetic field. On the other hand, long-term tests during the characterization process indicated that increments of only $0.4^{\circ}C$ in the working volume temperature will not be an interfering factor when experiments are carried out in in situ cell cultures.

Recently, there is an increasing nationwide concern in Korea that exposure to electric and magnetic fields in the home environment may not be safe in humans. To identify possible effects of horizontally polarized magnetic fields (MF) exposure on embryo-fetal development, timed-mated female Sprague-Dawley rats (24/group) received continuous exposure to 60 Hz MF at field strengths of 0 Gauss (sham control), 50mG,833 mG, or 5000 mG. Dams received MF of sham exposures for 22hr/day on gestation days 6 through 20. Experimentally generated MF were monitored continuously througout the study. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity of developmental toxicity in any MF-exposed groups. Mean maternal body weight, organ weights, and gross findings in groups exposed to MF did not differ from those in sham control. No significant differences in fetal deaths, fetal body weight, and placental weight were observed between MF-exposed groups and sham control. External, visceral, and skeletal examination of fetuses demonstrated no significant differences in the incidence of fetal malformations between MF-exposed and sham control groups. In conclusion, exposure of pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats to 60 Hz at MF strengths up to 5000 mG during gestation day 6-20 did not produce any biologically significant effect in either dams of fetuses.

교류자기장에 의한 유도가열체를 이용하여 LCD 평판 디스플레이 패널의 가열을 최소화하면서 IC 칩을 실장시킬 수 있는 COG 접속기술에 대해 연구하였다. 크기 5mm${\times}$5mm, 두께 $600{\mu}m$의 Cu 도금막으로 제조한 유도가열체에 14 kHz, 230 Oe의 교류자기장을 인가시 60초 이내에 유도가열체의 온도가 Sn-3.5Ag 무연솔더의 리플로우에 필요한 $250^{\circ}C$에 도달하였으며, 유도가열체로부터 2 mm 떨어진 부위에서부터 기판의 온도는 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지되었다. 이와 같은 Cu 도금막 유도가열체에 14 kHz, 230 Oe의 교류자기장을 120초 동안 인가하여 Sn-3.5Ag 솔더범프를 리플로우 시켜 COG 실장을 하는 것이 가능하였다.
