The effects of electromagnetic fields on mental and physical health
Article Abstract:
Research on the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) since the 1940s has concentrated mainly on high frequency transmissions, although the focus moved to lower frequences used for electric power transmission in the 1970s. There is continued debate about the effects of relatively low exposure levels, with a focus on cellphones, TV and cellsite transmitters. Both animal and human studies on the effects of EMFs are discussed, and safety standards for EMFs and extremely-low-frequency (ELFs) are examined.
