Info

Human Studies • Studies examining the effects of RF-EMFs on human health should report EMF exposure in a clear way. • In theory, there should be a proposed mechanism predicting what a certain change in frequency (for example) should imply for a particular biological or behavioural function. In practice, there is often no proposed mechanism of action. • Often it seems that studies are conducted on political grounds, rather than scientific grounds. • For example, is there something special (in terms of health effects) about the 800 - 2200 MHz range? What about TV and FM radio signals?
How can we investigate the health effects of EMFs? • Given the variety of questions to be addressed, a convergent approach using multidisciplinary teams with a range of expertise would seem sensible. • Investigation of the effects of EMFs from the molecular to the systems level is important.
