This animal study examined whether 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure at two intensities (1 mT vs 7 mT) alters hippocampal gene transcripts related to neuroplasticity and cell survival in adult rats across repeated exposure cycles. The authors report intensity- and exposure-number-dependent modulation of mRNA expression, with 1…

This study collected pollen from 12 plant species at four sites characterized by different EMR power densities (1 to 15 μW/cm) and assessed pollen viability using four staining methods. The authors report that pollen viability differed by species and stain, with aceto-orcein showing the highest viability across sites…

This pooled analysis of two prior human studies reports increased odds of prostate cancer associated with mobile phone use, with higher estimates for longer latency and higher cumulative hours. Cordless phone use is reported to show increased risk but not statistically significant overall, with one mid-range…

This systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis synthesizes human observational studies on radiofrequency EMF exposure and male fertility outcomes. It reports evidence of an association between RF exposure and poorer sperm parameters, including reduced quality, motility, and viability. The authors frame the…

This laboratory study exposed a Geobacter sulfurreducens-inoculated bioelectrochemical system to 0–128 Gauss extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields. The authors report increased and oscillatory metabolic current under ELF-EMF exposure, with dose-dependent effects and a linear relationship between oscillation…

This 2016 narrative review proposes that non-thermal microwave/lower-frequency EMFs act primarily through activation of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), with calcium channel blockers reported to block EMF effects. It summarizes animal, occupational, and epidemiological literature and reports that exposures…
