ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the major influence factors affecting the quality and accuracy of measuring instruments for power frequency electromagnetic fields in occupational hygiene technical service organizations by developing interlaboratory comparison in workplaces.METHODS:
Six measuring instruments for power electromagnetic fields from 6occupational hygiene technical service organizations in Guangdong Province were selected by typical sampling method. A high-voltage substation was selected as a standard source. We set measurement sites underneath it as inter-laboratory comparison spots for power frequency electromagnetic fields. The stability of the standard source was evaluated by pairedsamples t-test and measure results were analyzed by z-score evaluation method based on quartile robust statistical technology.RESULTS:
During and after the inter-laboratory comparison,the intensity of electric field and magnetic field of the standard source showed no significant difference [( 555. 03 ± 2. 94) vs( 555. 68 ± 3. 20) V / m,( 2. 30 ± 0. 06) vs( 2. 29 ± 0. 07) μT,P > 0. 05],which met the demand of stability of inter-laboratory comparison. The data of electric field measured by 2 measuring instruments without remote-reading system were found to be high because of proximity effect from its handheld status. The z-score of inter-laboratory( zB) of other 4 measuring instruments with remote-reading system ranged from- 0. 52 to 1. 10,while the z-score of within-laboratory( zW) ranged from- 1. 28 to 0. 37,and both results of| zB| and | zW| were satisfactory( < 2. 00). The zBof power frequency magnetic field measured by the 6 measuring instruments ranged from- 0. 67 to 1. 26,while zWranged from- 0. 59 to 0. 90,and both | zB| and | zW| were also satisfactory( < 2. 00).CONCLUSION:
It is feasible that the inter-laboratory comparison of measuring instruments of power frequency electromagnetic fields could be implemented by a high-voltage substation as a standard source. The measuring instruments without remote-reading system could be used to measure the intensity of magnetic field but not the electric field. The measuring instruments with remote-reading system could be used to measure the intensity of either the electric field or the magnetic field,and the measurement results are satisfactory.
