This exposure assessment measured RF-EMF levels in all primary and secondary school units (n=62) in Korydallos, Athens, across 27 MHz–3 GHz. The study reports that 97.5% of schools had exposure levels at least 2200 times below Greek exposure limits. The authors conclude the measured levels were below 60% of the…

This exposure assessment study estimated occupational RF electric-field exposure among workers at 4 broadcast centers in Poland using spot measurements and historical occupational hygiene data. Reported maximum and average electric-field values were below the Polish occupational exposure limit for a work shift. The…
Does precautionary information about electromagnetic fields trigger nocebo responses? An experimental risk communication study.

This experimental study tested whether providing precautionary information about EMF from WLAN devices increases symptom reporting during an alleged exposure situation. In a sham-exposure design (N=137), participants received either basic information about current WLAN exposure limits or additional precautionary…
The effects of human height and mass on the calculated induced electric fields at 50 Hz for comparison with the EMF Directive 2013/35/EU.

Jan 1, 2017
This computational study examined how human height and mass influence calculated induced electric fields in the body from external 50 Hz electric and magnetic fields. Anatomically realistic human models derived from the MAXWEL phantom were varied across a range of heights and masses and used to simulate induced…

This study reports experimental measurements and numerical modeling of electric and magnetic fields near a high voltage substation in Annaba, Algeria. Field intensities were measured at multiple heights intended to correspond to sensitive human body regions and were validated using finite element simulations. The…

Jan 1, 2014
This pilot study reports EMF field audits in 29 single-family residential dwellings in an urban Toronto neighborhood, measuring RF, power-frequency electric and magnetic fields, and high-frequency voltage transients. The authors frame EMF as an indoor pollutant and note a lack of international consensus on exposure…
[Measurement and assessment of electromagnetic fields near radiophones in line with provisions of European Directive 2013/35/EU and Polish labour law].

Jan 1, 2013
This exposure assessment measured unperturbed electric fields near antennas of 50 portable radiophones used by rescue and uniformed services. Occupational exposure-level field strengths (per Polish OSH safety-zone criteria) occurred tens of centimeters from antennas, and Directive 2013/35/EU action levels were…
[Objectivized evaluation of surgeons exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields -- in the context of exposure duration and Polish and new international requirements regarding workers protection].

Jan 1, 2013
This occupational exposure assessment monitored surgeons during 11 surgeries using monopolar electro surgery units and measured electric and magnetic field strengths during cutting and coagulating modes. Electric fields near the cable at 10 cm were reported in the hundreds of V/m, while magnetic fields were
