Workplace exposures to ELF radiation. More recent studies, including some that considered exposure measurements as well as job titles, have generally not shown an increasing risk of leukemia , brain tumors, or female breast cancer with increasing exposure to magnetic fields at work (45–50).
Read moreDoes EMF affect immune system?
EMFs disturb immune function through stimulation of various allergic and inflammatory responses , as well as effects on tissue repair processes. Such disturbances increase the risks for various diseases, including cancer.
Read moreWhat does EMF do to your blood?
The biological effect of exposure to EMF is a subject of particular research interest. The results of the recent studies not only clearly demonstrate that EMF exposure triggers oxidative stress in various tissues, but also that it causes significant changes in levels of blood antioxidant markers .
Read moreAre EMF waves harmful?
Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health .
Read moreCan EMF cause leukemia?
The risks of leukemia associated with exposure to EMF are generally low ; pooled analyses suggest an excess of all leukemias with a risk estimate of 1.18 (95 percent confidence interval (CI) 1.12-1.24) (11), with slightly higher risks for the various leukemia subtypes.
