Introduction: 

Induction hob has become increasingly popular in regular households due to their convenience and high level of fire safety. Several researches have published the reports on the magnetic fields generated by induction hob.
In our study, the conformance with the magnetic field reference levels for general public exposure provided in the ICNIRP 2010 guidelines was verified regarding magnetic fields measured under the actual usage conditions by changing standing positions of a hob user, pot materials and sizes, and gaps between the centers of the pot bottom and the coil.
