Jan 1, 2021
This review discusses mandatory health surveillance for EMF-exposed workers under EU Directive 2013/35/EU, which focuses on preventing known direct biophysical and indirect effects. It notes that long-term effects are not covered because evidence for a causal relationship is considered inadequate. The authors report…

Jan 1, 2014
This workplace measurement study assessed intermediate frequency (IF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field exposure among cashiers working near electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems in Finnish stores. Typical seated exposures were reported as well below limits, but short-term exceedances of ICNIRP…
Occupational extremely low-frequency magnetic field exposure and selected cancer outcomes in a prospective Dutch cohort
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2014
This prospective Dutch cohort (120,852 participants; 17.3 years follow-up) examined occupational ELF magnetic field exposure and incidence of several cancers. No associations were reported for lung, breast, or brain cancer across multiple exposure metrics. In men, high occupational exposure was associated with…
