The 2011 International Scientific Conference on EMF and Health was organized under the auspices of the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR), in the context of the periodic review of the scientific evidence on the potential health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) as mandated by EU Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC. The objecti...

Ongoing public discussions on adverse effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the human body and international as well as European legislation require the evaluation of workplaces with respect to EMF and therefore the development of assessment methods for these fields and their biological effects. This is of particular importance in special areas like resistance welding where high field-stre...

Today world population lives in a new electromagnetic environment, characterized with (i) around the clock enforcement of chronic exposure of all age and gender groups to a wide range of modulated electromagnetic fields (EMF) from base stations; (ii) daily, repeated from early childhood throughout entire life exposure to EMF RF mobile phone the brain and vestibular receptor apparatus and audito...

Background Exposure to electro-magnetic fields is a risk factor for abortion. We aimed to review the relationship between exposure to magnetic fields during pregnancy and the risk of abortion. Materials and Methods: Two independent researchers screened the articles with related keywords including: "Radiofrequency", "RF", "RF-EMFs",...

INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have adverse effects as a result of widespread use of electromagnetic energy on biological systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prenatal exposure to EMF on rat myocardium by biochemical and histopathological evaluations. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 10 pregnant Wistar rats were used. Half of the pregnant rats were ex...

for many years it was believed that extremely lowfrequency electromagnetic field (elf-emf) do not have any significant biological effects. in this study, the influence of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on the growth performance, serum antioxidant power and gastrointestinal structure of rainbow trout were evaluated. rainbow trout (17-18 g) were exposed to electromagnetic fields (...

The interaction of electromagnetic fields (EMF) with living organisms presents an increasing source of interest nowadays. There are reports on the influence of EMFs on memory. In this study, the effect of a 50 Hz, 50G EMF was investigated on passive avoidance learning in male rats. For this purpose, male Wistar rats (n = 50, 6-8 weeks, 250-300 g) were randomly divided into five groups. Control ...
