Abstract

Testing and modelling complex electromagnetic hazards for integrated risk assessment related to diagnostics and laboratory magnetic resonance devices

Project manager: Jolanta Karpowicz Ph.D. (Eng.)

Project summary:

Diagnostics and laboratory devices that use the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), i.e., tomography for magnetic resonance imaging (T-RM) and NMR spectrometers (S-NMR), are equipped with very strong superconductive magnets, which produce static magnetic fields of 0.2-20 T. The task involved developing a method of assessing complex electromagnetic hazards and conducting complex occupational risk assessment of workers operating S-NMR and T-RM. Moreover, the results were disseminated in a report, which presented, among others, the results of measurements of personal exposure at various types of devices and its assessment regarding compliance with the requirements of national OSH regulations and European directives on workers' safety (89/391/EEC, 2004/40/EC, 2008/46/EC).
