This double-blind randomized sham-controlled repeated-measures study examined short-term 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure (28 μT) to the chest and its effects on HR and HRV in 34 healthy young men. HR deceleration occurred in both EMF and sham conditions, but several HRV indices (SDNN, RMSSD, LF, HF) increased only in the EMF…

This paper describes multi-floor indoor LTE measurement campaigns aimed at enabling assessment and monitoring of RF-EMF exposure, with emphasis on uplink exposure via mobile phone transmit power. Because uplink transmit power is not directly available from off-the-shelf devices, the authors propose an artificial…

This animal and in vitro study evaluated a composite osteochondral scaffold with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with low-frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) stimulation. The authors report that EMF promoted BMSC proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation in vitro, partly via PI3K/AKT/mTOR…

This paper presents a 3D GIS approach to model magnetic fields from overhead high-voltage power lines while accounting for terrain relief and cable catenary. The model was validated against extensive field measurements in two complex urban environments and showed good agreement with measured values, though accuracy…

This cross-sectional online survey examined whether paranoid ideation is associated with modern health worries and idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF). Paranoid ideation was positively associated with modern health worries and with IEI-EMF status, even after controlling…

This article reviews Italian jurisprudence on alleged occupational tumours linked to RF EMF exposure (notably from wireless phones), with some cases also involving other RF sources or ELF magnetic fields. It contrasts court decisions that recognized occupational causation with others that rejected it, emphasizing how…

This narrative review synthesizes evidence up to September 2019 on health risks from radiofrequency exposure emitted by mobile phones, in the context of IARC's 2013 Group 2B classification. The authors report that the literature does not show a clear risk profile and cannot definitively confirm or refute a health…

This study evaluated extremely low, time-varying EMF “magneto-priming” to optimize germination in foxtail millet seeds using a central composite design and response surface methodology. The authors report optimal germination at 10 Hz, 30,007 nT, and 30 minutes, with improvements in germination percentage and multiple…

This in vitro study fabricated PCL nanofibrous scaffolds containing cobalt-zinc ferrite nanoparticles and evaluated physicochemical/mechanical properties and cell-related outcomes. The abstract reports improved hydrophilicity, biodegradation, and stress at break with CZF-NP incorporation, and improved L929 cell…

This paper develops supervised machine-learning prediction models to analyze potential impacts of weak RF-EMF on human and animal cells using extracted laboratory experimental data from prior publications. Data from 300 peer-reviewed papers (1127 experimental case studies) were used with feature selection and…

This engineering/simulation study evaluates RF applicator concepts for ThermalMR brain tumor heating at 297 MHz (7.0 Tesla) using clinically realistic GBM-based models. EMF simulations compared 10 applicator designs and two SAR-based planning algorithms for small and large target volumes. Power-focused optimization…

This paper discusses how rising man-made EMF from modern wireless technologies motivates careful regulation to keep exposure below levels expected to cause harm. It argues current regulations may not strictly constrain EMF when multiple nearby devices transmit simultaneously. The authors propose a…

This experimental study evaluated electromagnetic field (EMF) treatment as a chemical-free approach to mitigate biofouling in reclaimed water distribution systems. The authors report that EMFs altered biofilm bacterial communities, reduced diversity, disrupted co-occurrence network structure, and inhibited biofilm…

This in vitro study exposed human dermal papilla cells to 70 Hz extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at 5–100 G for four days. The abstract reports increased expression of several anagen-related molecules and increased proliferation, with 10 G described as the most potent condition. It also reports…
