Study of population exposure to magnetic fields due to secondary utilization of transmission line corridors

A program of secondary utilization of transmission line corridors for recreational, commercial, educational and industrial activities has been in existence at Hydro-Quebec for several years. In the context of studies indicating a possible link between exposure, educational and industrial activities has been in existence at Hydro-Quebec for several years. In the context of studies indicating a possible link between exposure to power frequency magnetic fields and human health, a study has been carried out to determine the exposure of people involved in the different types of secondary-utilization activities in and near transmission line corridors. Results of this study are presented in this paper. >
