This laboratory study examined whether 50 Hz (ELF) electromagnetic field exposure changes pesticide disappearance rates and molecular functional group signatures in honey bees. EMF altered the disappearance rates of azoxystrobin and λ-cyhalothrin within 6 hours, with different patterns depending on whether pesticides…

This double-blind animal study examined whether RF EMF exposure slightly exceeding occupational limits affects heart rate variability in rabbits. Across two exposure setups (device-generated RF and real base-station downlink signals), the authors report increased HRV indices (HF-HRV and rMSSD) alongside lower heart…

This animal study examined behavioural responses of American lobster and Little skate to EMF emissions from a subsea HVDC transmission cable. It reports a marked increase in exploratory/foraging behaviour in skates and a subtler exploratory response in lobsters when exposed to cable EMF. The authors also measured…

This animal study exposed male albino rats to a 50 Hz electromagnetic field for 2 or 4 hours and assessed reproductive hormones, oxidative stress markers, and testicular histology after 30 days. The abstract reports that EMF exposure reduced serum FSH, testosterone, and LH and catalase activity, while increasing…

This animal (nematode) study exposed Caenorhabditis elegans to 50 Hz, 3 mT extremely low-frequency EMF and assessed multi-omics responses. The authors report significant lipidomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic alterations, including increased triacylglycerols. Pathway analyses suggest disrupted lipid metabolism,…

This rat study examined 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (1–2000 μT) for 60 days and measured Th-related gene expression and cytokines in an HSA-stimulated immune model. Splenic T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA expression decreased at 1 and 100 μT. Serum IFN-γ and IL-4 were significantly decreased in the 100 μT group only before HSA…

This in vitro study examined whether RF electromagnetic fields (900, 2400, 7500 MHz) modify the toxicity of silver and graphene nanoparticles in human fibroblast cultures. The authors report EMF-associated changes in cytotoxicity and ROS that depended on nanoparticle type, shape, and concentration, with the strongest…

This study simulated SAR from handheld UHF RFID readers (“RFID guns”) in adult male and female models across seven close-proximity scenarios involving an operator, scanned person, or bystander. SAR was reported to comply with general public limits at emissions up to 1 W, but higher-power devices (>2 W, and especially…

This modeling study estimated SAR in a head approaching a 13.56 MHz RFID HF reader, comparing hearing-implant users with non-users. The abstract reports that BAHA implants can increase localized SAR (10 g) versus non-users, up to 2.1× in a worst-case scenario, and that this increase is statistically higher than for…

This experimental study exposed onion root meristems to continuous 2350 MHz radiofrequency EMF for 1, 2, or 4 hours and assessed cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. It reports increased mitotic index at 4 hours and increased chromosomal aberrations at exposures of 2 hours or longer, with some comet assay DNA distribution…

In a worker sample undergoing 24-hour ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, higher self-reported daily mobile phone use (>60 minutes) was associated with higher systolic blood pressure in office measurement and at night. Higher occupational stress was associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood…

This geo-epidemiological population-based study in Limousin (France) assessed modeled residential UHF-EMF exposure from GSM antennas and ALS incidence from 2000–2012. The authors report a statistically significant exposure–response trend and higher ALS risk in the highest exposure category versus non-exposure in both…
