High Intensity Electromagnetic Fields* At the rectenna site, an intense electric and magnetic field will be set up as a result of the high voltage power being transmitted from the satellite to the rectenna and from the rectenna to load center. The potential for public health effects from these fields is being studied in other ongoing programs, since the effects are not unique to SPS. 2.2 EFFECTS ON TERRESTRIAL WORKERS The SPS effects on the health and safety of terrestrial workers can be measured in the same fashion as those on the public; that is, there is an increment in conventional mining, construction, manufacturing, and transport impacts and a set of effects resulting from unconventional conditions, as shown in Fig. 2.7.
