A critical review of all data relevant to the assessment of human
health effects associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields
in the frequency range of 300 Hz to 300 GHz. Emphasis is placed on
new data that shed light on the interactions of electromagnetic
fields with biological systems and on the specific biological
effects and responses that result. Over 500 recent studies were
rigorously assessed. Sources of exposure considered include
broadcasting systems microwave ovens induction heating stoves
visual display units television receivers dielectric heaters for
industrial use radar installations and medical devices and
procedures. A chapter devoted to interaction mechanisms reviews the
electrical properties of tissues and discusses direct and indirect
interaction mechanisms including the interaction of biological
bodies with electrical charges induced on ungrounded or poorly
grounded metallic objects such as cars cranes wires and fences. A
review of the large body of data from cellular and animal studies
considers the strength of evidence pointing to effects on the
nervous endocrine and immune systems on reproduction and on pre-
and post-natal development. The report concludes that most of the
biological effects of acute exposure are consistent with responses
to induced heating Data on human responses are assessed in the next
chapter which addresses concern about the effects of locally
elevated temperatures resulting from the deposition of
radiofre-quency energy and the possible dangers particularly for
pregnancy outcome linked to the use of visual display units. The
report concludes that current data provide no clear evidence of
detrimental health effects in humans exposed to radiofrequency
fields. The remaining chapters provide guidelines for health hazard
assessment and standards for protection.
