ESC submits consultation answer to the EU on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields
About this initiative: The SCHEER Committee found that the exposure to low frequency EMF of the general population in Europe remains below the exposure limits recommended in Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC. There is also no convincing evidence for a causal relationship between low frequency EMF exposure within the limits indicated in the Recommendation and self-reported symptoms. However, more research is needed on the interaction mechanism between EMF exposure and human health.
