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…

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…

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
