Measurement of Electromagnetic Fields Exposure to Humans from Electric Vehicles and Their Supply Equipment

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2026

This study reports measurements of electric field intensity (E) and magnetic flux density (B) from electric vehicles (inside driver/passenger seats during driving) and EV supply equipment (near chargers during charging) up to 400 kHz in and around Chennai. E and B inside EVs and E around EVSEs were reported to be within ICNIRP/IEEE guideline limits. However, B around certain EVSE positions reportedly exceeded a general public threshold (~200 T), and a preliminary FEM analysis suggested relatively higher fields at charging infrastructure. The authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and recommend policy actions to mitigate exposure.

Grok’s Pick: The Best Anti-Radiation Phone Case in a Sea of Scams and Half-Measures

Independent Voices RF Safe Dec 10, 2025

An RF Safe blog post written in a first-person “Grok” voice argues that many anti-radiation phone cases are ineffective or can increase exposure by causing phones to boost transmit power. It recommends the QuantaCase™ as the best option in late 2025, claiming it “delivers on physics” and avoids common design pitfalls seen in competing products. The post references WHO’s position that low-level exposure is not proven harmful in humans while also citing animal research (e.g., NTP) and proposed mechanisms (e.g., oxidative stress) to justify precautionary use.

Towards a Planetary Health Impact Assessment Framework: Exploring Expert Knowledge & Artificial Intelligence for RF-EMF Exposure Case-Study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This paper presents a case study proposing a Planetary Health Impact Assessment (PHIA) framework for RF-EMF exposure from mobile telecommunication technologies using knowledge graphs. Twelve experts co-developed knowledge graphs to visualize potential direct effects on organisms and indirect effects on humans via ecosystem disruption, while an AI/NLP tool was used to extract and visualize literature with required expert validation. The authors highlight substantial evidence gaps on ecological impacts (e.g., pollinators, birds, plants) and emphasize the possibility of indirect health risks mediated through ecosystems.

Adverse Effects of Electromagnetic Fields on The Central Nervous System: A Review

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This review argues that EMF exposure is associated in the literature with several adverse central nervous system outcomes, including blood-brain barrier disruption, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter changes, cognitive effects, and neurodevelopmental impacts. It reports that evidence on EMFs and brain tumors is conflicting, while noting WHO’s classification of radiofrequency EMFs as possibly carcinogenic to humans. The authors highlight prenatal and childhood periods as potentially more vulnerable and call for more standardized long-term and mechanistic research to guide public health policy.

Assessment of Electromagnetic Exposure Levels for Humans from Electric Vehicle DC Charging Stations

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This simulation study modeled EMF exposure from an electric vehicle DC charging pile transformer using adult and child human models at several distances and for in-vehicle occupants during charging. Reported peak B-field and E-field values at 0.1 m and modeled internal exposures decreased with distance and remained below stated ICNIRP occupational and public limits. Frequency comparisons (85–95 kHz) indicated decreasing B-field with higher frequency while E-field stayed relatively stable. The authors note the need for real-world measurement validation and further assessment in sensitive populations and multi-source settings.

Effect of electromagnetic radiations from mobile towers on genetic damage and genetic polymorphism in humans: a review on India's perspective

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This narrative review examines research on radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from mobile towers and its potential association with genetic damage and genetic polymorphism in humans, with an emphasis on India. The abstract states that RF-EMR exposure may affect genetic material and suggests a link between EMR exposure and genetic damage, with possible implications for cancer risk and cell death. It also highlights that genetic polymorphisms may modify susceptibility and calls for further research to clarify health impacts.

Navigating Environmental Crossroads: Pesticides, Bee Pollinators, and the Wireless Revolution

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This article summarizes a webinar series and frames pesticides and wireless radiation as concurrent environmental health crises affecting ecosystems and public health. It asserts that evidence is building for adverse effects of EMF/wireless radiation in humans, animals, and bees, including “high-certainty links” between RF radiation and tumors in brain and heart nerves. It also suggests potential synergy between chemical and EMF exposures impacting bee hive productivity and argues for precautionary policy and stronger exposure guidelines.

Impact of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields on Cardiac Activity at Rest: A Systematic Review of Healthy Human Studies

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This systematic review evaluated evidence on RF-EMF exposure and cardiac activity (heart rate and heart rate variability) in healthy humans at rest. Across 28 studies spanning 100 to 110,000 MHz and exposures from minutes to a week, most studies reported no significant effects on resting heart rate, and HRV findings were largely null under calm conditions. Some position-dependent HRV changes were reported, and the authors note possible effects during physiological challenges, but conclude evidence is insufficient for firm conclusions beyond resting healthy populations.

Effect of Repeated Exposure to Complexly Organized Electromagnetic Radiation on the Rat Behavior in the "Open Field" Test

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This animal study examined repeated pulsed-modulated RF exposure (1–4 GHz; total pulse power density 300 μW/cm2) in male and female Wistar rats and assessed behavior using the open field test. The abstract reports stress reactions and long-term memory impairment in some rats, with females described as more sensitive than males. Reported effects were transient, with behavior returning to baseline within 1.5–2 months after exposure stopped. The authors suggest potential concern for constant exposure scenarios, though this is not directly evaluated in humans here.

Physics and biology of mobile telephony

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2000

This review argues that current mobile-telephony safety guidelines address excessive microwave heating but may not account for potential non-thermal influences of low-intensity, pulsed radiation. It highlights an asserted oscillatory similarity between pulsed microwave signals and certain electrochemical activities in humans as a reason for concern. While acknowledging uncertainty about health consequences, it notes reported consistencies between some non-thermal effects and neurological problems described by some users and people with long-term base-station exposure.

Bibliography of reported biological phenomena ("effects") and clinical manifestations attributed to microwave and radio-frequency radiation

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 1971

This item is a bibliography of reported biological phenomena and clinical manifestations attributed to radio-frequency and microwave radiation. It compiles over 2000 references published up to June 1971, with supplemental listings through Nov. 21, 1971, and gives particular attention to reported effects in humans. The abstract does not describe any systematic synthesis or conclusions about health effects.
