This systematic review evaluated RF-EMF exposure and cancer outcomes in experimental animals, including 52 studies (20 chronic cancer bioassays), using narrative synthesis due to substantial heterogeneity. The review reports no or minimal evidence of RF-EMF-related cancer outcomes for many organ systems, but reports…

This pilot animal study exposed zebrafish embryos to 900 MHz RF-EMF for 30 or 60 minutes per day until 96 hours post-fertilization and assessed gene expression and physiological endpoints. The authors report reduced expression of lepa, ins, and pparg, changes in oxidative stress markers consistent with increased…

This animal study used qRT-PCR to assess whether 900 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure alters neuropeptide-related gene transcription in Ixodes ricinus synganglia. The abstract reports that 40 V/m exposure for at least 60 minutes significantly suppressed transcript levels of sifa, mip, and their…

This animal study examined daily perinatal 5G EMF exposure in rats at the ICNIRP whole-body public exposure limit (maternal SAR 0.07 W/kg) from gestational day 8 to post-natal day 21. The authors report a 1-day delay in incisor eruption in both sexes and sex-dependent changes in stereotyped behavior in the open field…

This in vitro study examined NIH/3T3 fibroblast cells exposed to 2100 MHz EMF and evaluated cell viability, cyclin D1, and NF-κB activity, with and without 200 nM selenium. The abstract reports reduced cell viability and increased cyclin D1 and NF-κB activity after EMF exposure. Selenium supplementation was reported…

This in vitro study exposed porcine endometrial slices from the peri-implantation period (days 15–16 of pregnancy) to 50 Hz ELF-EMF for 2 hours and assessed promoter DNA methylation in selected genes. The authors report increased methylation for EGR2, ID2, and PTGER4, decreased methylation for IL1RAP and NOS3, and no…

This mouse experiment evaluated whether crocin (50 mg/kg) mitigates liver and kidney injury associated with 2100 MHz electromagnetic field exposure. EMF exposure was associated with increased serum markers of kidney and liver injury, reduced antioxidant enzyme activity, and histopathological/ultrastructural changes…

This animal study evaluated ketamine administration combined with extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure in a chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) rat model. The authors report that the combined treatment increased depression-like behavior and neuronal degeneration, reduced GFAP(+) cells in…

This laboratory study examined Magnaporthe oryzae pathogenicity under extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure (50 Hz, 3 mT). The authors report increased infection ability, growth rate, and conidia generation with ELF-EMF exposure. They also report increased tolerance to a cell wall-perturbing agent…

This exposure assessment measured EMF emission levels around 24 kindergartens in relation to nearby underground transmission lines using an EMDEX II meter. The abstract reports maximum mean EMF levels of 13.5 mG around kindergartens and 17.7 mG from the UGTL point to kindergartens, with a significant association…

This in vitro study exposed HaCaT human keratinocytes to 1760 MHz RF-EMF (SAR 4.0 W/kg; 2 h/day for 4 days). The authors report increased intracellular ROS and increased expression/activity of several matrix metalloproteinases, along with increased phosphorylation of FoxO3a and ERK1/2. Cell growth/viability and…

This laboratory study examined whether 50 Hz (ELF) electromagnetic field exposure changes pesticide disappearance rates and molecular functional group signatures in honey bees. EMF altered the disappearance rates of azoxystrobin and λ-cyhalothrin within 6 hours, with different patterns depending on whether pesticides…

This animal (nematode) study exposed Caenorhabditis elegans to 50 Hz, 3 mT extremely low-frequency EMF and assessed multi-omics responses. The authors report significant lipidomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic alterations, including increased triacylglycerols. Pathway analyses suggest disrupted lipid metabolism,…
