AbstrakPembangunan saluran transmisi listrik tegangan tinggi diduga dapat merugikan manusia atau makhluk hidup lain. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh paparan medan listrik tegangan tinggi pada ketebalan miokardium ventrikel kiri mencit jantan (Mus musculus L.). Penelitian dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Zoologi Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Lampung serta Laboratorium Patologi Balai Penyidikan dan Pengujian Veteriner Regional III Bandar Lampung, pada bulan Juni−November 2011.Penelitian menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan, ulangan 6 kali, dan dibagi dalam empat kelompok. Kelompok kontrol (K) tidak diberi perlakuan, kelompok 1 (P1) diberi paparan 5 kV/m, kelompok 2 (P2) diberi paparan 6 kV/m, dan kelompok 3 (P3) diberi paparan 7 kV/m, masing-masing 8 jam/hari selama 37 hari. Data dianalisis menggunakan analysis of variance. Hasil penelitian didapatkan ketebalan miokardium ventrikel kiri mencit jantan pada K sebesar 1.329,83±173,29 µm; P1 sebesar 1.507,50±109,24 µm; P2 sebesar 1.536,70±103.42 µm; dan P3 sebesar 1.574.23±123,36 µm. Terdapat peningkatan ketebalan miokardium rata-rata dengan bertambahnya daya paparan medan listrik (p=0,019). Simpulan, terdapat hubungan antara paparan medan listrik tegangan tinggi dan perubahan ukuran ketebalan miokardium ventrikel kiri mencit jantan, semakin tinggi paparan medan listrik semakin tebal miokardium ventrikel kiri mencit jantan. Research using completely randomized design with 4 treatments, replicated 6 times and divided into four groups.The control group (K) was not given treatment, group 1 (P1) given exposure to 5 kV/m, group 2 (P2) given exposure to 6 kV/ mand group 3 (P3) given exposure to 7 kV/m for 8 hours/day, to 37 days. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. The results obtained thickness of the left ventricular myocardium of male mice at K1,329.83±173.29 μm; P1 at 1,507.50±109.24 μm; P2 at 1,536.70±103.42 μm, and P3 at 1,574.23±123.36 μm. There was an increase in the average thickness of the myocardium with increasing exposure to power an electric field with a statistical test obtained (p=0.019). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between exposure to high-voltage electric field to change the size of the thickness of the left ventricular myocardium male mice, the higher the electric field exposure thicker left ventricular myocardium male mice.

“…There seems to be geographical variation in both the type of symptoms reported and the attributed source association (Irvine, 2005). However, EHS individuals have not been able to recognize exposed from sham conditions under controlled experiment conditions (Rubin et al, 2005;Roosli, 2008), and thus appear not to fulfill the fundamental criteria for proof of causality (Ward, 2009). In contrast, experimental data showed that people from the general population are able to detect 50 Hz electric currents well below an established perception threshold limit of 500 mA (IEC, 1994), with on average women being more susceptible than men (Leitgeb and Schroettner, 2002).…”

“Dirty electricity”: what, where, and should we care?

Environmental exposure to high-frequency voltage transients (HFVT), also termed dirty electricity, has been advocated among electro(hyper)sensitive interest groups as an important biological active component of standard electromagnetic pollution. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, in which only seven articles were identified. Exposure to HFVT was associated with increased cancer risks, while preferential removal of 4-100 kHz HFVT from 50-60 Hz ELF circuits was linked to a variety of improvements in health (plasma glucose levels in diabetic patients, symptoms of multiple sclerosis, asthma and other respiratory illnesses, and insomnia), well-being (tiredness, frustration, general health, irritation, sense of satisfaction, mood), and student behavior. However, all these published studies were subject to significant methodological flaws in the design of the studies, the assessment of exposure, and the statistical analysis, which prevented valid assessment of a causal link between this exposure metric and adverse effects. Environmental exposure to HFVT is an interesting EMF exposure metric, which might explain the spurious results from epidemiological studies using 'standard' ELF and RF exposure metrics. However, at present, methodological problems in published studies prohibit the valid assessment of its biological activity.
