This editorial introduces a special issue supporting the WHO assessment of health effects from RF-EMF exposure, based on nine protocols and twelve systematic reviews developed over four years by more than 80 experts. It summarizes that human evidence for major cancers was moderate-certainty for no or only small…

This animal study tested repeated 50 Hz, 5 mT ELF-EMF exposure in rats with and without PTZ-induced epilepsy. The authors report changes in learning/short-term memory in the EMF+PTZ group versus PTZ alone and increased analgesia latency in EMF-exposed groups. PTZ increased oxidative stress (TOS) in brain regions, and…

This literature review summarizes recent preclinical and clinical research on electromagnetic fields (EMF) in relation to Alzheimer's disease (AD). It describes AD pathology involving amyloid-beta accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation and notes limitations of current symptomatic treatments. The authors report…
The effect of exposure to low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) as an integral part of the housing system on anxiety-related behaviour, cognition and welfare in two strains of laboratory mouse.

This animal study tested whether continuous low-frequency EMF exposure from a cage-integrated EMF plate affected anxiety-related behaviour, cognition, or welfare over six weeks in two mouse strains. Across all measured outcomes, the authors report no significant differences between EMF on versus off conditions.…
Does acute radio-frequency electromagnetic field exposure affect visual event-related potentials in healthy adults?

Jan 1, 2018
This double-blind, randomized, counterbalanced study tested whether acute GSM-like 920 MHz RF-EMF exposure affects visual event-related potentials in 36 healthy adults. Compared with sham, exposure was associated with reduced P1 amplitude and increased anterior N1 latency, with no effects on other ERP measures. The…
