Measurement of Electromagnetic Fields Exposure to Humans from Electric Vehicles and Their Supply Equipment

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2026

This study reports measurements of electric field intensity (E) and magnetic flux density (B) from electric vehicles (inside driver/passenger seats during driving) and EV supply equipment (near chargers during charging) up to 400 kHz in and around Chennai. E and B inside EVs and E around EVSEs were reported to be within ICNIRP/IEEE guideline limits. However, B around certain EVSE positions reportedly exceeded a general public threshold (~200 T), and a preliminary FEM analysis suggested relatively higher fields at charging infrastructure. The authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and recommend policy actions to mitigate exposure.

Towards a Planetary Health Impact Assessment Framework: Exploring Expert Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence for a RF-EMF Exposure Case-Study

Research PubMed: RF-EMF health Dec 19, 2025

This peer-reviewed article proposes a Planetary Health Impact Assessment (PHIA) framework to evaluate not only direct health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) but also potential indirect impacts on human health mediated through ecosystem disruption. Using mobile telecommunication RF-EMF as a case study, the authors and 12 experts built a knowledge graph of hypothesized pathways and compared it with an AI/NLP tool that extracts literature into knowledge graphs. The paper reports that AI can process large volumes quickly but currently needs substantial expert validation due to limitations in precision and context sensitivity, and it highlights potential gaps in the literature on indirect/ecological pathways.

Towards a Planetary Health Impact Assessment Framework: Exploring Expert Knowledge & Artificial Intelligence for RF-EMF Exposure Case-Study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This paper presents a case study proposing a Planetary Health Impact Assessment (PHIA) framework for RF-EMF exposure from mobile telecommunication technologies using knowledge graphs. Twelve experts co-developed knowledge graphs to visualize potential direct effects on organisms and indirect effects on humans via ecosystem disruption, while an AI/NLP tool was used to extract and visualize literature with required expert validation. The authors highlight substantial evidence gaps on ecological impacts (e.g., pollinators, birds, plants) and emphasize the possibility of indirect health risks mediated through ecosystems.

Human cells response to electromagnetic waves of radio and microwave frequencies

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This review discusses how human cells may sense and respond to electromagnetic waves, focusing on radiofrequency and microwave ranges. It reports that the literature shows variable health impacts, with studies citing both potential harms and potential benefits in diagnostics and treatment (including cancer-related applications). The review highlights emerging molecular mechanisms and calls for safe, practical applications and balanced consideration in regulation.

Effect of electromagnetic radiations from mobile towers on genetic damage and genetic polymorphism in humans: a review on India's perspective

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This narrative review examines research on radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from mobile towers and its potential association with genetic damage and genetic polymorphism in humans, with an emphasis on India. The abstract states that RF-EMR exposure may affect genetic material and suggests a link between EMR exposure and genetic damage, with possible implications for cancer risk and cell death. It also highlights that genetic polymorphisms may modify susceptibility and calls for further research to clarify health impacts.

13.56 MHz RFID Module - From Application to Process Modelling and Effects on Human Health

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This paper presents an application and numerical process modelling of a 13.56 MHz RFID module, including how nearby tags/cards and their positioning affect antenna characteristics. It also considers RFID operation near human tissues and discusses potential health impacts from prolonged EMF exposure at 13.56 MHz. The authors emphasize the importance of evaluating long-term exposure risks and call for additional scientific attention.

Rapid Deployment of 5G Wireless Communication and Risk Assessment on Human Health: Quid Novi?

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This review discusses the rapid deployment of 5G and the associated debate about potential human health impacts from EMF exposure, particularly at 3.5–26 GHz including millimeter waves. It emphasizes limited published studies in these exposure ranges and highlights EU-funded initiatives and research consortia aimed at closing knowledge gaps. The authors state that guidelines are generally considered adequate at present, but argue that uncertainties—especially regarding long-term exposure—support continued research and precautionary approaches.

A Mini-Review of the Potential Health Impacts of Indoor Radiation Exposure in Companion Animals

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This mini-review discusses indoor radiation sources that may affect companion animals, including radon, radionuclides in feed, radiofrequency sources (phones, Wi-Fi, pet tracking devices), solar radiation, and extremely low frequency radiation. It reports that indoor radiation may negatively impact companion animal health and well-being. The authors conclude that preventive and precautionary measures are necessary to protect companion animals from indoor radiation exposure.

The use of different exposure metrics in the research about the health impacts of electromagnetic fields

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This policy brief focuses on how RF-EMF exposure should be quantified in health research, emphasizing the role of near-field sources and proposing cumulative dose (J/kg/day) as a health-relevant metric. It reports mean cumulative dose estimates of 0.29 J/kg/day for the whole body and 0.81 J/kg/day for the brain. The brief notes established RF-EMF effects (heating, microwave hearing under highly pulsed radiation, and stimulation) and discusses indications of biological effects below thermal thresholds, while stating that improved metrics do not by themselves confirm harm.
