Harmful Shipboard Electromagnetic Fields - HF Radio Transmitter Measurements

The paper deals with potential harmful effects of EM fields onboard a ship. Typical HF radio transmitter is analyzed as EM field source and fields originating from its antenna are measured on the ship deck. Military standards for personnel, ordnance and fuel irradiation are considered and compared to the real situation. Fields are found to be under the appropriate permissible exposure limits (PELs) for personnel, but not for ordnance and fuel
