Long-term EMF exposure may be linked to higher levels of oxidative stress.
PMID: Environ Res. 2001 Jun ;86(2):198-207. PMID: 11437466 Abstract Title: Evidence of oxidative stress in American kestrels exposed to electromagnetic fields. Abstract: Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) alters melatonin, behavior, growth, and reproduction of captive American kestrels (Falco sparverius), particularly of males. EMF exposure is a"possible"human carcinogen and associated with some neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative stress …
