Contact currents could cause indirect effects of EM fields on humans (IEEE 2002, ICNIPR 20 I 0). In the frequency range up to approximately I 00 kHz, the flow of electric currents may result in the electro-stimulation of muscles and/or peripheral nerves. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) or spark may occur just before contact or upon release. After fully touching, continuous component of contact current may flows from/into the human body. In this study, the computed induced electric field in anatomically-based human body models due to ESD and sinusoidal contact current are reviewed. Then, the comparison of the computed induced electric field to the threshold of the electrical stimulation of humans stated in the standards/guidelines is also presented.
