Health risks of electromagnetic fields. Part I: Evaluation and assessment of electric and magnetic fields review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA damage, mutation
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell proliferation
• cell function: intracellular calcium, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC)
• cancer: childhood cancer and leukemia, breast cancer, adult cancer; animal cancer studies
• effects on the reproductive system: reproductive toxic effects
• effects on the immune system: immune system
• effects on the cardiovascular system: cardiovascular diseases and function
• endocrine changes: melatonin
• effects on the neurological system: neurodegenerative diseases
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: behavioral effects in animals and humans
• hypersensitivity/subjective complaints: perception and sensitivity
• epidemiology: public and occupational environments, see "cancer"
• dosimetry/technology: measurement, sources of EMF exposure, induced electric fields and current density
• guidelines/safety: guidelines and recommendations published by IEEE, NRPB, ICNIRP, and Swedish Standards

Exposure
