In this study ELF-MFs were measured in different units of the thermal power plant based on gridding the indoor space. The exposure level was measured by spot measurement based on the IEEE Std C95.3.1 and then simulated in units with the highest magnetic field intensity by using ArcGIS software. The operators and balance of plant (BOP) technicians (12.64\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.74\u00a0\u03bcT) and office workers (2.41\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.22\u00a0\u03bcT) had the highest and lowest levels of both measured and estimated ELF-MFs exposure. The highest measured ELF-MFs were in the vicinity of the power transmission lines in the transformers\u2019 building (48.2 \u03bcT). Our simulation showed the high and low exposure areas and ranked exposure well; but, the actual measurements of ELF-MFs exposure were in all cases higher than the estimated values, which means we still need to improve our estimations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/rpd\/ncaa101","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,1]],"date-time":"2020-07-01T03:17:57Z","timestamp":1593573477000},"page":"289-296","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["ESTIMATION OF THERMAL POWER PLANT WORKERS EXPOSURE TO MAGNETIC FIELDS AND SIMULATION OF HAZARD ZONES"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"190","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5477-199X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majid","family":"Bagheri Hosseinabadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Shahroud University of Medical Sciences, Shahroud, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narges","family":"Khanjani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Health Engineering Research Centre, Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Kerman, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Hossein","family":"Ebrahimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental and Occupational Health Research Center, Shahroud University of Medical Sciences, Shahroud, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2903-8200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamal","family":"Biganeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Shahroud University of Medical Sciences, Shahroud, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2020101807151022600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1218","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2008.08.012","article-title":"Extremely low frequency-magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) occupational exposure and natural killer activity in peripheral blood lymphocytes","volume":"407","author":"Gobba","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sci.
