2026 Evidence Snapshot: Non‑Thermal RF Bioeffects Across 6 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 2.45 GHz, and 28 GHz—Why Heat‑Only Safety Limits Don’t Track Biology
Research
Effect Synthesis
Mar 1, 2026
Synthesis of 13 studies (2026) spanning 6 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 2.45 GHz Wi‑Fi, 28 GHz mmWave, and real‑world base‑station proximity and smartphone use. Across mechanistic, animal, and observational evidence, multiple biologi…
Prevalence of self-reported sensitivities to various environmental factors in Germany, Sweden, and Finland based on multiple classification criteria

Jan 1, 2025
This cross-sectional survey study reports the prevalence of self-reported sensitivities to multiple environmental factors, including EMFs, in Germany, Sweden, and Finland. Mild EMF-related reactions were reported by about 10% in Germany and about 5% in Nordic samples, while strong reactions were reported by a smaller…
Greater prevalence of symptoms associated with higher exposures to mobile phone base stations in a hilly, densely populated city in Mizoram, India

Jan 1, 2025
This cross-sectional study compared 183 higher-exposed residents with 126 matched reference residents and assessed symptoms via questionnaire alongside in-home RF-EMF power density measurements from mobile phone base stations. Higher exposure (including proximity within 50 m and power densities of 5–8 mW/m2) was…

Jan 1, 2024
This analytical study evaluated machine learning models (SVM and Random Forest) to predict health symptoms in adults living near mobile phone base stations. The SVM model reportedly achieved high predictive performance for headache, sleep disturbance, dizziness, vertigo, and fatigue, and outperformed Random Forest…

Jan 1, 2024
This study compared historical occupational RF-EMF exposure estimates from the INTEROCC RF job-exposure matrix (RF-JEM) with recent personal RF-EMF measurements from the OccRF-Health study in two countries. Agreement between the two approaches was poor for both exposure prevalence and 8-hour time-weighted average…
Association between media coverage and prevalence of idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic field in Taiwan.

Jan 1, 2018
This ecological study examined whether trends in newspaper coverage about EMF/IEI-EMF in Taiwan were associated with changes in reported IEI-EMF prevalence. The authors report that media coverage rose up to 2007 and then declined through 2012, mirroring a decline in IEI-EMF prevalence between 2007 and 2012. In…
Prevalence and correlates of cell phone use among Texas drivers.

Jan 1, 2015
This observational study measured the prevalence of cell phone use among 1,280 drivers in six Texas cities from 2011–2013. Any cell phone use while driving was observed in 18.7% of drivers, with talking tending to decline and texting seeming to increase over time. Use was more common among female drivers, drivers…
