This Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Scientific Council report provides an annual overview of the previous year’s research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) to support the Authority’s risk assessment and policy work. It updates key topics including ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, mobile phones,…

This study used numerical modeling with a human body model to evaluate how the placement of a single body-worn personal exposimeter affects RF electric-field measurements in the 98–2450 MHz range. Across 256 simulated exposure scenarios, the body substantially altered measured values compared with the unperturbed…

This exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…

This paper presents a near-field RF exposure assessment method comparing standard SAR estimation from E-field measurements in tissue-simulating liquid with a proposed approach based on incident H-field measurements. Experiments were conducted at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using dipole antennas and a flat phantom, with…

This animal study exposed developing Sprague Dawley rats to 2.14 GHz W-CDMA RF-EMF at a whole-body SAR of 0.2 W/kg for 9 weeks (20 h/day). No differences were reported in multiple T cell population measures across blood, spleen, and thymus. Some Th1/Th2-related genes were upregulated (notably in thymus), but serum…

This observational space-physics study reports a substorm-associated injection of MeV electrons into the inner magnetosphere measured by Van Allen Probes-A. A strong dipolarization electric field (~50 mV/m) coincided with a dispersionless injection up to ~3 MeV and pitch angle signatures consistent with betatron…

This animal organ-preservation study compared 12-hour porcine heart preservation at -3°C using a device generating a variable magnetic field versus conventional 4°C preservation. The subzero variable-magnetic-field condition showed higher myocardial ATP, lower lactate, and less mitochondrial ultrastructural damage…

This animal/model-organism study examined whether weak low-frequency magnetic fields tuned to a proposed parametric resonance for calcium ions affect Ca(2+)-dependent proteolysis. It reports time-dependent modulation of Ca(2+)-dependent proteinase activity in fish and whelk and states that a minimal exposure time for…

This cross-sectional study developed and validated a Persian version of the Test of Mobile Phone Dependency (TMD) in 350 Tehran university students. Factor analysis identified three factors and the scale showed high internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability. The authors report a best cut-off point of…

This Data in Brief article provides additional experimental data supporting a related study on mitigating ageing effects (Staebler-Wronski effect) in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells. The associated method involves applying reverse bias stress and evaluating how temperature, electric field intensity,…

This longitudinal analysis evaluated cell phone messaging (texts and calls) as a tool for community Ebola syndromic surveillance in Moyamba District, Southern Sierra Leone (Aug–Oct 2014). The authors report that the cell phone alert system captured suspect and confirmed Ebola cases and mortality alerts, with many…

This in vitro study tested whether a static magnetic field (SMF) could enhance the effects of cisplatin or adriamycin in Hepa1-6 tumor cells. The abstract reports that SMF combined with either drug increased growth inhibition and was associated with cell-cycle arrest, increased DNA damage, and more severe membrane…

This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether mobile phone SMS messages could improve healthy food choices among Iranian postmenopausal women. Over 4 months, the intervention group received 16 messages about healthy food selection. The study reports increased consumption of Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables…

This study evaluated magnetostimulation and magnetoledtherapy for pain reduction after dental implant treatment in three groups of 10 patients each. Pain was recorded using a VAS scale, and analgesic use was also tracked. The abstract reports lower pain scores and reduced analgesic use in the magnetostimulation…
