“…• From the results of the measurements made onto the single-phase transformer, the relation (9) Taken into account that the lowest measured value of 1.2 µT was available, (value that differs by 1.09% from that calculated one) and comparing this value with the results of studies from [6][7][8][9][10][11] (i.e.0.4 µT), it turns out that all the measured values can be potentially dangerous for the human body in case of prolonged exposure.…”

Different methods of dispersion magnetic fields solutions for single phase transformers are presented in this paper. The transformers are with cylinder windings placed onto a single column. The transformer construction transformer is in the mantle. The analytic equation expression of finding dispersion magnetic fields have been delivered and the obtained solution has been verified by the experimental field measurements.

“…Lastly, even electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations during pregnancy, due to overexposure to mobile phones, diagnostic instruments, or occupation, seem to be a risk factor for preterm delivery (Roşu et al, 2016 ) and to have effects on ANS development (Rezk et al, 2008 ).…”

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is one of the main biological systems that regulates the body's physiology. Autonomic nervous system regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus' development. In particular, several studies have shown how vagus nerve is involved in many vital processes during fetal, perinatal, and postnatal life: from the regulation of inflammation through the anti-inflammatory cholinergic pathway, which may affect the functioning of each organ, to the production of hormones involved in bioenergetic metabolism. In addition, the vagus nerve has been recognized as the primary afferent pathway capable of transmitting information to the brain from every organ of the body. Therefore, this hypothesis paper aims to review the development of ANS during fetal and perinatal life, focusing particularly on the vagus nerve, to identify possible “critical windows” that could impact its maturation. These “critical windows” could help clinicians know when to monitor fetuses to effectively assess the developmental status of both ANS and specifically the vagus nerve. In addition, this paper will focus on which factors—i.e., fetal characteristics and behaviors, maternal lifestyle and pathologies, placental health and dysfunction, labor, incubator conditions, and drug exposure—may have an impact on the development of the vagus during the above-mentioned “critical window” and how. This analysis could help clinicians and stakeholders define precise guidelines for improving the management of fetuses and newborns, particularly to reduce the potential adverse environmental impacts on ANS development that may lead to persistent long-term consequences. Since the development of ANS and the vagus influence have been shown to be reflected in cardiac variability, this paper will rely in particular on studies using fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) to monitor the continued growth and health of both animal and human fetuses. In fact, fHRV is a non-invasive marker whose changes have been associated with ANS development, vagal modulation, systemic and neurological inflammatory reactions, and even fetal distress during labor.

“…These are also current in the residential environment, so a new term is encountered in the specialty literature "electrosmog". It includes all artificial electromagnetic emissions (created by humans) and is becoming more and more of a major public health concern [2]. Some materials prevent the transmission of electromagnetic (EM) radiation by reflection and/or absorption of the electromagnetic radiation or by suppressing the EM signals.…”

In recent decades, the background level of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has increased extremely. One of the decisive factors influencing this increase is the increase in the quality, volume, and speed of voice and data services of mobile operators. This paper deals with the protection of the internal environment from the negative effects of EMFs through elements made of metal materials that absorb this radiation. For the purposes of this research, a series of measurements were carried out on individual days of the week and hours during the day. The results of the measurements were evaluated by the ANOVA method. The aim was to obtain a summary overview of the effects of electromagnetic fields and propose measures for their elimination in the interior. Therefore, measurements of electromagnetic fields were also carried out using shielding elements made of various metal materials, and a comparison of their shielding efficiency was subsequently made. Applications of shading blinds with the highest shading efficiency were recommended to increase safety, protect people’s health from its effects, and prevent electromagnetic fields.
