The world is becoming increasingly industrialized, technological revolution and innovation are proceeding at prodigious speeds, so that the number and diversity of electromagnetic (EMF) sources have increased significantly. Electricity has made our lives richer, safer and easier, but the transmission lines that carry it pose some health risks to the people who live around it due to the EMF they generate. Research was undertaken in 2015 to obtain information on the people living near these lines in the residential area of Kinshasa city. To this end, Magnetic Field (MF) measurements carried out there in 2015 and repeated in 2020 indicate that the average MF has increased over 5 years, notably in the axis of the line, notably from (0. 673 ±0.030) μT to (1.321 ±0.115) μT at Limete, (0.753 ±0.052) μT to (1.091 ±0.073) μT at Selembao and (1.017 ±0.095) μT to (1.342 ±0.102) μT at Bandalungwa. All these averages found in 2020 are increasingly above the threshold value of 0.400 μT.
Author Keywords: Extremely low frequency magnetic field, exposure, very high voltage line, standard, pathologies.

Abstract: (french)
Le monde s'industrialise chaque jour davantage, la révolution et l’innovation technologiques se poursuivent à des vitesses prodigieuses de sorte que le nombre et la diversité des sources électromagnétiques se sont sensiblement accrus. L’électricité a rendu nos vies plus riches, plus sûres et plus faciles mais les lignes de transport qui la transporte représentent quelques risques pour la santé des habitants qui vivent aux alentours en raison des Champs Magnétiques (CM) qu’elles génèrent. Des recherches ont été entreprises en 2015 pour obtenir des informations sur les personnes qui vivent à proximité de ces lignes dans la zone résidentielle de la ville de Kinshasa. A cet effet, des mesures de CM y effectuées en 2015 puis répétées en 2020 indiquent que les moyennes de ces CM ont augmenté en 5 ans, passant notamment, dans l’axe de la ligne, de 0.673 ±0.030 μT à 1.321 ±0.115 μT à Limete, 0.753 ±0.052 μT à 1.091 ±0.073 μT à Selembao et 1.017 ±0.095 μT à 1.342 ±0.102 μT à Bandalungwa.
Author Keywords: Champ magnétique d’extrêmement basse fréquence, exposition, ligne très haute tension, norme, pathologies.
