This in vitro study tested whether extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) modulate the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 in Kv1.3-expressing CHO-K1 cells. Cells were exposed to a 20 Hz field at 268 µT or 902 µT while Kv1.3 currents were measured by whole-cell patch clamp. The authors report a…

This in vitro study tested acute (30 min) and sub-chronic (48 h) 50 Hz ELF-EMF exposure up to 1000 µT in naïve and chemically stressed PC12 cells. Across assays of Ca2+ homeostasis, ROS production, and membrane integrity, the study reports no consistent or measurable neurotoxic effects under the tested conditions.…

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…
