Abstract

This study is to prove the effect of electromagnetic field exposure from 500 kV Extra High Voltage Transmission to the incidence of electrical sensitivity and the extent of the risk of electrical sensitivity incidence on the population residing in areas/in the proximity of 500 kV transmission facilities compared to residents who do not live under it. The study design employed is the case-control observational analytic epidemiology, and qualitative study, with 249 samples, consisted of 83 cases and 166 controls. The study was conducted in Pekalongan municipality, Pemalang municipality and Tegal municipality, all in Central Java. The results show that there are some effects of the electromagnetic field 500 kV electricity transmission exposure with the incidence of electrical sensitivity. Moreover, the electrical sensitivity incidence on the residents living under 500 kV electricity transmission is 5.8 times compared to those who do not live under 500 kV electricity transmission.
