Jan 1, 2020
This double-blind animal study examined whether RF EMF exposure slightly exceeding occupational limits affects heart rate variability in rabbits. Across two exposure setups (device-generated RF and real base-station downlink signals), the authors report increased HRV indices (HF-HRV and rMSSD) alongside lower heart…

This study simulated SAR from handheld UHF RFID readers (“RFID guns”) in adult male and female models across seven close-proximity scenarios involving an operator, scanned person, or bystander. SAR was reported to comply with general public limits at emissions up to 1 W, but higher-power devices (>2 W, and especially…

Jan 1, 2018
This exposure assessment study reports extensive EMF measurements and exposure mapping across multiple workplace settings in Greece in the context of implementing EU Directive 2013/35/EU. The authors report that most assessed workplaces did not exceed occupational limits, and often did not exceed general public…
[ELF-MF occupational exposure: repeated measures on workers].

Jan 1, 2007
This occupational exposure assessment used personal dosimeters to estimate ELF magnetic field exposure in 543 workers across 9 occupational settings in Emilia-Romagna. Median time-weighted average exposure was 0.14 microT, with tile production showing the highest setting-level TWA. Repeat measurements after 6–9…
