This study compared historical occupational RF-EMF exposure estimates from the INTEROCC RF job-exposure matrix (RF-JEM) with recent personal RF-EMF measurements from the OccRF-Health study in two countries. Agreement between the two approaches was poor for both exposure prevalence and 8-hour time-weighted average…

This paper describes the design, calibration, and experimental validation of a low-cost tri-axial sensor for monitoring 50 Hz magnetic fields from high-voltage power lines. The sensor was calibrated on-board and in-lab against a narrowband EHP-50 benchmark and then verified in situ at two locations, with reported…

This study evaluated whether seed treatment with cold plasma or an electromagnetic field can alter antioxidant capacity in Norway spruce seedlings across ten half-sib families. The abstract reports that responses varied substantially by genetic family and seedling age, with some families showing increased antioxidant…

This review discusses repeated electromagnetic field stimulation (REMFS) as a potential non-invasive therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The abstract describes reported benefits in AD mice, including reduced beta-amyloid, prevention of neuronal death, halted disease progression, and improved memory without edema or…

This mouse study tested whether alternating current electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure modifies muscle lipid accumulation during long-term high-fat feeding. Mice exposed to EMF (8 hours/day for 16 weeks; maximum 180 mT) while on a high-fat diet had lower intramyocellular lipid levels than high-fat diet controls.…

This observational study used induction sensors with a Mu-metal and copper mesh shielded helmet to measure cortically generated EMFs in patients with cranial neurological disease and compare patterns to previously obtained healthy control data. Fourteen patients (ages 14–81) were analyzed and compared with four…

This study conducted personal full-shift RF-EMF measurements in 333 workers across 46 occupations in Spain and France. Most 1-second measurements of electric and magnetic fields were below the device detection limit (≥1% of 1998 ICNIRP standards), though many workers had at least one detectable reading. A small…

This study evaluated a short (1 min) electromagnetic field (EMF) seed treatment in seven half-sib families of silver birch and assessed emergence, growth, and leaf biochemical profiles in one- and two-year-old seedlings. The abstract reports genotype- and age-dependent responses, with some families showing…

This paper reviews literature from 1980–2023 on the role of electromagnetic fields as a therapy for traumatic brain injury and brain neuropathology. It reports that existing findings suggest electromagnetic therapy may be a promising non-invasive treatment approach. The authors emphasize that current evidence is…

This study examined whether exposing maize seeds to electromagnetic fields (23, 70, 118 μT) for 15 days alters physicochemical properties of starch isolated from the resulting grains. SEM and X-ray diffraction results suggest starch morphology and orthorhombic crystalline structure were largely unchanged, though…

This paper describes a protocol for a systematic map of evidence on how food crops and model plants respond to exposure to static magnetic fields and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields. The authors cite reports of potential agronomic benefits but also inconsistent protocols and contradictory outcomes, and they…

This in vitro study examined whether a low-frequency EMF (30 mT, 7 Hz for 3 h) alters phagocytosis of latex beads and immune-related protein/gene expression in the human Mono Mac 6 macrophage cell line. The authors report that EMF exposure influenced phagocytosis-associated molecular markers, with notable changes in…

This study evaluated whether a lightweight Mu-metal and copper mesh shielded helmet with EMF channels could reduce external electromagnetic interference enough to measure cortically generated EMF using non-contact induction sensors without a shielded room. In five volunteers performing motor, verbalization, and…

This randomized sham-controlled study tested low-level electromagnetic field stimulation (3.2 × 10 G at 0.89 Hz) applied around the head in patients undergoing ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Eighteen patients completed the protocol, and LL-EMF was associated with shorter pacing-induced AF episodes after…

This in vitro and rat study evaluated sinusoidal electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on 3D-printed scaffolds for repairing critical-sized calvarial defects. The authors report that EMF-treated cell scaffolds accelerated bone defect repair in rats.…

This in vitro and rat-model study evaluated sinusoidal low-frequency EMF combined with a PCL/nHA scaffold seeded with BMSCs for intervertebral fusion. The authors report enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and pro-osteogenic effects of conditioned medium from EMF-treated BMSCs, with suggested involvement of…

This review discusses mandatory health surveillance for EMF-exposed workers under EU Directive 2013/35/EU, which focuses on preventing known direct biophysical and indirect effects. It notes that long-term effects are not covered because evidence for a causal relationship is considered inadequate. The authors report…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated electromagnetic fields (EMF) treatment combined with a 3D-printed PLA/HA scaffold seeded with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for cranial defect repair. The authors report that EMF enhanced BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and was partly…
