A Systematic Review of the Impact of Electromagnetic Waves on Living Beings
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This PRISMA-adherent systematic review searched PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies (2017–2024) on physiological or behavioral responses to EMF exposure, emphasizing studies reporting harmful or concerning effects. Across 24 included studies (human non-randomized, in vitro, and animal), the review…
Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and IARC carcinogen assessment: Risk of Bias preliminary literature assessment for 10 key characteristics of human carcinogens

Jan 1, 2025
This review examined experimental literature on whether RF-EMF exposures within ICNIRP (2020) limits affect IARC key characteristics of human carcinogens. It identified 159 articles and found that 38% of in vitro/in vivo measurements reported statistically significant effects, but higher study quality was associated…
Carcinogenicity of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields: A systematic review of animal studies
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This PRISMA-based systematic review evaluated 54 animal studies on the carcinogenicity of extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields. The authors report very little evidence that ELF magnetic fields alone are carcinogenic. Findings on co-carcinogenicity (ELF MFs combined with other agents) are inconclusive, and…
Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This systematic review evaluated RF EMF exposure and cancer outcomes in experimental animals, including chronic cancer bioassays and tumor-promotion designs. Across 52 included studies, the authors report high certainty of evidence for increased malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas in male rats, and moderate…
Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on cancer in laboratory animal studies, a systematic review
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This systematic review evaluated RF-EMF exposure and cancer outcomes in experimental animals, including 52 studies (20 chronic cancer bioassays), using narrative synthesis due to substantial heterogeneity. The review reports no or minimal evidence of RF-EMF-related cancer outcomes for many organ systems, but reports…
The effect of long-term radiofrequency exposure on cognition in human observational studies: A protocol for a systematic review.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2022
This paper presents a protocol for a systematic review of human observational studies assessing long-term radiofrequency (100 kHz to 300 GHz) EMF exposure and cognitive outcomes. It plans to include cohort and case-control studies with at least 6 months follow-up and validated cognitive measures, and to evaluate…
Effects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) exposure on male fertility and pregnancy and birth outcomes: Protocols for a systematic review of experimental studies in non-human mammals and in human sperm exposed in vitro.
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2021
This paper presents protocols for a systematic review of experimental studies assessing RF-EMF exposure (100 kHz–300 GHz) and outcomes related to male fertility and pregnancy/birth effects. The review will cover three evidence streams: non-human mammal male reproductive outcomes, human sperm exposed in vitro, and in…
