Jan 1, 2026
This controlled plant study evaluated extremely low frequency (ELF) non-ionizing radiation treatments (TA and TB) on soybean morphophysiological parameters under varying nutrient solution strengths (50%, 75%, 100% Hoagland). The authors report that ELF significantly increased chlorophyll index, with TB producing the…

This experimental study assessed chlorophyll fluorescence rise kinetics in lettuce plants exposed to RF-EMFs and subjected to a short drought treatment. Using a conventional JIP test and a machine learning-assisted anomaly-detection approach, the authors report that RF-EMF exposure weakened drought-induced hormetic…

This laboratory remediation study evaluates low-frequency AC electromagnetic field (AC EMF) induction heating of sulfidated microscale zero-valent iron (S-mZVI) to enhance dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE). The authors report substantially higher heating of S-mZVI under AC EMF and faster TCE degradation than…

Jan 1, 2018
This laboratory study tested a low-intensity very low-frequency EMF anti-scale device for potential impacts on drinking water biofilms in flow-through reactors. Across soft and hard water and for nascent and mature biofilms, the EMF exposure did not significantly change biofilm cell numbers, cell integrity measures,…

Jan 1, 2018
This simulation study evaluated RF-induced heating near cochlear implant leads during 1.5 T MRI using a transfer function method. Across studied configurations, the average temperature rise was 0.79 °C and the maximum was 2.80 °C at a whole-body average SAR of 2 W/kg. The authors report that lead trajectory and MRI…

Jan 1, 2014
This randomized trial assessed short-term effects of electromagnetic fields from a mobile phone versus a Bluetooth headset on cochlear nerve activity during vestibular neurectomy in 12 patients. Bluetooth headset exposure showed no significant change in CNAP amplitude or latency. Direct mobile phone exposure was…
