Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational
Exposures to Electric and Magnetic
Fields (EMF)—New—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
This proposal is to conduct a
validation study on an interview-based
procedure for assessing occupational
exposures to electric and magnetic
fields (EMF) from AC electricity.
Participants in the study will be asked
to wear specially designed instruments
to measure a range of EMF that
employees encounter as part of their
daily work practices. These devices
have been field-tested and meet all
safety requirements. This study will
capture not only the magnetic field
magnitude but also its frequencies,
induced currents and contact currents.
This study will provide important new
information that will shed light on EMF
and health effects on workers.
This study has the following
objectives: (1) Validate an interviewbased EMF exposure assessment
algorithm against measurements of the
time-weighted average (TWA) magnetic
field magnitude used in previous
epidemiologic studies, (2) calibrate the
parameters in the algorithm in order to
improve the exposure estimates, and (3)
determine the correlation between the
EMF exposures from the algorithm and
biologically-based metrics measured by
new instrumentation. These
biologically-based metrics consist of
either characteristics of the magnetic
field that have produced biological
effects in laboratory studies or currents
in the body resulting from contact with
charged surfaces. For the higher
correlations with the TWA magnetic
field magnitude, these data will be used
to determine whether the exposure
algorithm can be modified to accurately
assess exposures to the biologicallybased metrics.
This is a one-time study of workers of
an electric utility in Canada and a
Federal research laboratory in the U.S.
There will be no cost to respondents
except for their time.

The revision to this submission is the
addition of a request for the program to
use Web-enabled panels as an
additional data collection tool that can
be used for the projects within this
clearance. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) protects
people’s health and safety by preventing
and controlling diseases and injuries;
promotes healthy living through strong
partnerships with local, national and
international organizations, and
enhances health decisions by providing
credible information on critical health
issues.
Members of the public and health
practitioners at all levels require up-todate, credible information about health
and safety in order to make rational
decisions. Such information affects the
health and well-being of people across
