Environmental Current Pollution and Possible Interaction Mechanisms for Biological Effects
Abstract: This paper addresses the emerging issue of environmental current pollution, offering systemwide estimates of stray currents originating from both centralized and decentralized power systems. Drawing on validated methodologies, the study develops models to quantify leakage from transmission lines, buried cables, and variable-frequency sources such as wind turbines. It further introduces a propagation framework that accounts for both resistive and capacitive effects in Earth's crust and atmosphere. Field measurements from magnetometer surveys and impedance studies support the model's accuracy. The paper also explores plausible biological effects, including DNA response elements, protein conformational shifts, and calcium channel modulation under low-frequency field exposure. The findings highlight the systemic presence and biological relevance of stray current pollution in modern power networks.
Keywords: Stray current, electromagnetic field, biological impact, environmental current pollution, leakage current propagation
