A comprehensive mechanism of biological and health effects of anthropogenic extremely low frequency and wireless communication electromagnetic fields🔗

Written on 14 June 2025. Posted in Science.

Panagopoulos et al. (2025) explain in a voluminous literature review how EMFs produced in wireless communications, as fully polarized coherent microwaves with random highly variable intensity, modulated and pulsed at extremely low frequencies, can promote cancer, infertility, electrohypersensitivity, and other pathologies.

A 2023 Slovakian study found that mobile phones expose significant parts of the human head and other parts of the body to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF MF). The measured and simulated ELF MF values were comparable to those reported to induce biological and health effects, including those related to carcinogenesis.

Public consultation on the SCHEER Preliminary Opinion on potential health effects of exposure to EMF

ESC submits consultation answer to the EU on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields

Written on 1 January 2024. Posted in Have your say. No Comments on ESC submits consultation answer to the EU on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields

The ESC explains the shortcomings and faulty conclusions in the Preliminary Opinion on potential health effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) - Update with regard to frequencies between 1Hz and 100 kHz.

Exposure to magnetic fields and childhood leukemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies🔗

A 2023 Belgian research suggest that ELF-MF higher than 0.4 µT can increase the risk of developing leukemia in children, probably acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Prolonged exposure to electric appliances that generate magnetic fields higher than 0.4 µT like electric blankets is associated with a greater risk of childhood leukemia.

Exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields and childhood cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis🔗

A 2021 Korean systematic review and meta-analysis reported that "Statistically significant associations were observed between exposure to ELF-MF and childhood leukaemia. Furthermore, the intensity of the association between exposure to ELF-MFs and childhood leukemia was high, as indicated by the dose–response effect."

The very productive Swedish/Danish team has produced an updated version of their Critical Review of SCHEER Opinion.

Electromagnetic Fields of Wireless Communications: Biological and Health Effects🔗

Written on 15 August 2023. Posted in Science. No Comments on Electromagnetic Fields of Wireless Communications: Biological and Health Effects🔗

This 2023 book reflects contributions from experts in physics, biology, pathology, epidemiology related to the biological and health effects of Radio Frequency/Microwave and Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields used in wireless communications and other technological applications.

Wireless technologies, non-ionizing EMF and children-Identifying and reducing health risks

Wireless technologies, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields and children: Identifying and reducing health risks🔗

Davis et al. (2023) conclude that wireless radiation has non-thermal effects on reproduction, development, and child health. Toddlers with high screen/device exposure risk speech delays and addiction. The authors advocate for As Low As Reasonably Achievable principles and reduced wireless exposure in schools and healthcare.
