Abstract
High Voltage transmission lines are a channels for electric power transmission at extra high voltage .So, in the vicinity of the transmission network lines arises electromagnetic fields which its intensity dependent on the amount of current that flowing in the conductor and the distance to the conductor. Nowadays, people are highly concerned about the effects of high voltage transmission lines on their health. Probable risk for leukemia, breast cancer, neuropsychological disorders and reproductive outcomes has been reported due to this exposure. In this research it has been analyzed the magnetic field at ground level under 400 kV network extended in Tikrit city with a common configuration .The aim of research is to investigate the probability of health hazards of the exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted from high voltage transmission lines. research had been conducted in two ways ,mathematical calculation and practical measurements and comparing these measurements with the international standards reference values. results indicate that they fall within the safe limits recommended by the World Health Organization, and this means that there is no risk of exposure to these areas if the exposure is for a short time and is within acceptable limits.
