This exposure-assessment study evaluated magnetic-field and contact-current exposures from modern induction hobs using IEC-based measurement procedures, 3D field scanning, and numerical dosimetry in anatomical models. It reports large between-hob variability in exposure and states that IEC 62233 may substantially underestimate user exposure. The authors argue that design modifications can reduce exposure and that product standards should be revised to better reflect realistic user scenarios.

This multi-hospital case-control study (n=316) examined associations between use of common household electrical appliances emitting ELF EMF and tumour risk. Most devices showed below-unity odds ratios, while computer screen and microwave oven use showed slightly increased odds with wide confidence intervals. Proximity to electricity transformer stations was associated with higher tumour odds, whereas proximity to powerlines was not.

This exposure assessment measured 20 kHz magnetic field leakage from induction cooking heaters across four models and compared results with ICNIRP general public limits. The maximum reported magnetic flux density was 16 µT at a specified measurement point using two S-type pans. Field leakage depended on pan size and configuration, and finite element modeling was reported to align closely with measurements.
