AU - Driessen, Sarah PY - 2017 DA - 2017/04/17 TI - Biological effects of exposure to static electric fields in humans and vertebrates: a systematic review JO - Environmental Health SP - 41 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - High-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines are the technology of choice for the transport of large amounts of energy over long distances. The operation of these lines produces static electric fields (EF), but the data reviewed in previous assessments were not sufficient to assess the need for any environmental limit. The aim of this systematic review was to update the current state of research and to evaluate biological effects of static EF.
