Jan 1, 2026
This engineering simulation modeled power-frequency EMF exposure for simulated patients with magnesium alloy coronary stents near a 200 kVA three-phase transformer. The highest exposure was predicted directly beneath the transformer, but cardiac tissue induced fields were reported to remain below ICNIRP public…

Jan 1, 2025
This cohort study evaluated Alzheimer's disease incidence in relation to residential extremely low frequency magnetic fields from indoor transformer stations, using apartment location as an exposure proxy. No significant association was observed between living next to transformer stations and Alzheimer's disease risk…

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…
Use of Electrical Household Appliances and Risk of All Types of Tumours: A Case-Control Study
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This multi-hospital case-control study (n=316) examined associations between use of common household electrical appliances emitting ELF EMF and tumour risk. Most devices showed below-unity odds ratios, while computer screen and microwave oven use showed slightly increased odds with wide confidence intervals.…
No effects of power line frequency extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure on selected neurobehavior tests of workers inspecting transformers and distribution line stations versus controls
Research

Jan 1, 2014
This study evaluated whether occupational 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure near transformers and distribution power lines affects performance on several computer-based neurobehavior tests. Spot measurements found some electric-field locations above a national occupational standard, while all magnetic-field spots were below the…
Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields of transformers and possible biological and health effects
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2014
This study measured leakage extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields around a transformer located on the bottom floor of a three-floor apartment building in Istanbul. The measurements were evaluated against international exposure standards, and the authors report exposures higher than the IARC threshold magnetic…
Improvement in magnetic field immunity of externally-coupled transcutaneous energy transmission system for a totally implantable artificial heart.

Jan 1, 2008
This engineering study addresses interference between induction-heating cookers and an externally coupled transcutaneous energy transmission system for a totally implantable artificial heart. The authors report that magnetic flux from an IH cooker can couple into the TET transformer and affect system performance. A…
