The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use.
Read moreWhat are low frequency radio waves used for?
Low to Medium Frequencies ELF radio waves, the lowest of all radio frequencies, have a long range and are useful in penetrating water and rock for communication with submarines and inside mines and caves . The most powerful natural source of ELF/VLF waves is lightning, according to the Stanford VLF Group.

Read moreWhat is extremely low frequency radiation?
Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields includes alternating current (AC) fields and other electromagnetic, non-ionizing radiation from 1 Hz to 300 Hz . ELF fields at 60 Hz are produced by power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical equipment.
Read moreIs Extremely Low Frequency dangerous?
The issue of extremely low frequency (ELF) biological effects is very controversial. Research has focused on possible carcinogenic, reproductive, and neurological effects . Other suggested health effects include cardiovascular, brain and behavior, hormonal and immune system changes.
Read moreWhat low frequency is harmful to humans?
In the past 30 years the concern that daily exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) (1 to 300 Hz ) might be harmful to human health (cancer, neurobehavioral disturbances, etc) has been the object of debate, and has become a public health concern.
