Biological and human health effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields. Post-1977 literature review. Final report 1977-1984
An evaluation of the applicable literature conducted by scientific and engineering experts assembled by the A I B S was completed for the 1977-1984 period. The expert committee concluded from their evaluation that electromagnetic field exposure associated with the U.S. Navy's Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Communication System is unlikely to produce adverse public health effects or adverse effects on plants and animals. Information included in this report pertains to Coupling of Living Organisms to ELF Electric and Magnetic Fields; Possible Biophysical Mechanisms of Electromagnetic Interactions with Biological Systems; Biological Effects of ELF Magnetic Fields; Cellular Studies of Effects of ELF Electric and Magnetic Fields; Interaction of ELF Electric and Magnetic Fields with Neural and Neuroendocrine Systems; Hematologic and Immunologic Effects of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields; Reproductive and Developmental Effects in Mammalian and Avian Species from Exposure to ELF Fields; Human Studies of Carcinogenic, Reproductive, and General Health Effects of ELF Fields; Potential Effects on Natural Biota of Operating an Extremely Low Frequency Communications System; and Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Communications System and Its Electromagnetic Fields.
