Of the 59 studies examined in this review, industry funded studies were less likely to report a statistically significant association between mobile phone use and negative health effects.
PMID: Environ Health Perspect. 2007 Jan ;115(1):1-4. PMID: 17366811 Abstract Title: Source of funding and results of studies of health effects of mobile phone use: systematic review of experimental studies. Abstract: OBJECTIVES: There is concern regarding the possible health effects of cellular telephone use. We examined whether the source of funding of studies of the …
This study indicates that occupational exposure MRI emissions may be related to health complaints of nurses. There is also a possible dose-response relationship between the prevalence of health complaints and the strength of the MRI.
PMID: Eur J Radiol. 2011 Nov ;80(2):510-3. Epub 2010 Oct 14. PMID: 20950976 Abstract Title: Health complaints among nurses working near MRI scanners–a descriptive pilot study. Abstract: A questionnaire-based descriptive pilot study was conducted among all nurses routinely working with MRI in the Northern part of Sweden to provide an indication of the self-reported prevalence …
Extremely low frequency magnetic fields in cell culture incubators may contribute to the variability in results from in vitro studies and should be taken into consideration.
PMID: Cell Biol Int. 2009 Jul ;33(7):755-7. Epub 2009 Apr 23. PMID: 19393752 Abstract Title: Background ELF magnetic fields in incubators: a factor of importance in cell culture work. Abstract: Extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields in cell culture incubators have been measured. Values of the order of tens of muT were found which is …
Some scientists view data on the health effects of electromagnetic fields as strongly suggestive and argue that if the association is true, the ubiquity of exposure may be resulting in a marked underestimation of the actual risk.
PMID: Mt Sinai J Med. 1995 Oct ;62(5):356-9. PMID: 7500965 Abstract Title: Health risk implications of magnetic field exposures. Abstract: Magnetic field exposures pose serious questions to the public. The science is not sufficiently clear or consistent to result in a consensus. Some scientists view the data as strongly suggestive and argue that if the …
This review analyzes potential bias in studies assessing risk of childhood leukemia associated with electromagnetic fields. The authors find that most data suggest that, if a bias exists, it is a bias towards the lack of association.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2001 ;Suppl 5:S32-47. PMID: 11170116 Abstract Title: The potential impact of bias in studies of residential exposure to magnetic fields and childhood leukemia. Abstract: Bias can have a major impact on the results of epidemiologic studies. In investigations of the possible association between residential exposure to magnetic fields and the occurrence of childhood …
This meta-analysis predicts that, If an association between electromagnetic fields and childhood leukemia exists, as many as 175-240 cases of childhood leukemia in the US may be due to magnetic field exposure.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2001 ;Suppl 5:S86-104. PMID: 11170120 Abstract Title: Residential EMF exposure and childhood leukemia: meta-analysis and population attributable risk. Abstract: The controversy over the possible association between magnetic field exposure and childhood leukemia has led several researchers to summarize the literature using meta-analysis. This paper reviews these previous meta-analyses and extends them by adding …
This review indicates that a causal relationship between electromagnetic fields and childhood leukemia cannot be dismissed due to a trend of a dose-response relationship is past exposure assessment studies.
PMID: Am J Prev Med. 1995 Jul-Aug;11(4):263-70. PMID: 7495604 Abstract Title: Do power frequency magnetic fields cause leukemia in children? Abstract: The possibility of a causal relationship between exposure to electromagnetic fields and childhood leukemia has been studied for more than 10 years. This review evaluates the epidemiologic findings relevant to a possible causal association …
This review concludes that hypersensitivity to environmental electric and magnetic fields is an unclear health problem whose nature has yet to be determined.
PMID: Environ Health Perspect. 2002 Aug ;110 Suppl 4:613-8. PMID: 12194895 Abstract Title: Hypersensitivity of human subjects to environmental electric and magnetic field exposure: a review of the literature. Abstract: Hypersensitivity to exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) has been reported for nearly 20 years; however, the literature on the subject is still very …
The population of individuals with the ability to differentiate personal exposure to electromagnetic fields is larger than reported by non-ionizing radiation governing bodies.
PMID: Bioelectromagnetics. 2003 Sep ;24(6):387-94. PMID: 12929157 Abstract Title: Electrosensibility and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Abstract: Electromagnetic sensibility, the ability to perceive electric and electromagnetic exposure, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), developing health symptoms due to exposure to environmental electromagnetic fields, need to be distinguished. Increased electrosensibility is a necessary, however, not a sufficient condition for electromagnetic hypersensitivity. …
