Hastane Ortamlarında Manyetik Alan Seviyeleri ve Mesleki Maruz Kalmanın Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışma ile tipik bir hastane ortamındaki elektromanyetik alan seviyeleri incelenmiştir. Araştırma için tipik merkez laboratuvarı seçilmiştir. Bu merkezde çok sayıda Santrifüj, biyokimya oto-analizör, Hemogram ünitesi vb. cihazlar kullanılmaktadır. Laboratuvar ortamındaki elektromanyetik alanlar aşırı düşük frekanslı alanlardır. Bu nedenle çalışanların maruz kalabileceği elektromanyetik alan seviyeleri ölçülmüş, sonuçlar mesleki maruz kalma güvenlik limitleri ışığında değerlendirilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Manyetik alan, Tıbbi cihazlar, Maruziyet.

Evaluations of Occupational Exposure and Magnetic Field Levels at Hospital Environments

Abstract

Electromagnetic field levels at the typical hospital environments analyzed with this study. Typical center laboratory has been selected for the research. There are a lot of devices at this center such as Centrifugal, biochemistry auto-analyzer, Hemogram units etc. Electromagnetic fields at the laboratory environment are the Extremely Low Frequency field. Therefore, occupants that they may be exposed to the electromagnetic field levels were measured, and the results are evaluated in the light of occupational exposure safety limits.

Keywords

• Magnetic field, Medical devices, Exposure.
