Electromagnetic fields in neonatal incubators: the reasons for an alert review

Endpoint

• dosimetry/technology: exposure measurements in incubators
• effects on the cardiovascular system: heart rate variability in newborns
• cancer: leukemia and cancer in newborns
• endocrine changes: melatonin metabolism in newborns

Exposure

• • electric field
  • magnetic field
  • low frequency
• • therapeutic/medical device
