Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health . The focus of international research is the investigation of possible links between cancer and electromagnetic fields, at power line and radiofrequencies.

Group 2B: “Possibly carcinogenic to humans ” There is some evidence that it can cause cancer in humans but at present it is far from conclusive. IARC definition and list of compounds. Group 3: “Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans” There is no evidence at present that it causes cancer in humans.
Read moreIs EMF radiation a carcinogen?
The Working Group classified ELF-EMFs as “possibly carcinogenic to humans ,” based on limited evidence from human studies in relation to childhood leukemia. Static electric and magnetic fields and extremely low frequency electric fields were determined “not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity to humans” (12).3 Oca 2019
Read moreWhat is considered high level EMF?
Summary: Electric field readings within living spaces above 10 V/m (Volts per meter) are considered high. Dangerous levels of electric field radiation are talked about much less than magnetic field and radio frequency radiation.
Read moreWho is International EMF Project?
As part of its charter to protect public health and in response to public concern over health effects of EMF exposure, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International EMF Project in 1996 to assess the scientific evidence of possible health effects of EMF in the frequency range from 0 to 300 GHz .
Read moreWhat are the WHO guidelines for magnetic field safety?
Routine occupational exposures should not exceed 600 mT (6000 G) to the extremities on an 8 hr time weighted average . A maximum ceiling (i.e. maximum value at any time) should be 2 T for the whole body and 5 T for the extremities.
Read moreWhat does an EMF stand for?
Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as Radiation, that are associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting.
