Occupational Exposure Assessment of the Static Magnetic Flux Density Generated by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Biochemical Purposes

The present paper deals with the measurement and evaluation of the static magnetic flux density to which operators are occupationally exposed to. Measurements were performed in normal working and worst case exposure situations. The results show that the exposure levels are conform with the exposure limits for non-wearers of metallic implants like pacemakers, but that wearers of these implants shouldn’t work in an NMRS environment.
