Status report on potential human health effects associated with power frequency electric and magnetic fields. Reporting period: June 1993-June 1994. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6985288
The report reviews articles published between June 1993 and June 1994 and ongoing research on the potential adverse health effects from exposure to power frequency electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). It reviews the epidemiology and general human health effects of EMF, and relevant research findings in the areas of animal tumor studies, experimental studies of biological, developmental, immunological, neurobehavioral and physiological effects, cell-level research, and studies of exposure assessment and mitigation. Appendices cover state and local initiatives regarding regulation of EMF exposure, and prudent avoidance. More than half of the major epidemiologic studies this year reported weak associations between EMF exposure and cancer, prinicipally leukemia, but all suffer from the small numbers of cases involved. Data from animal tumor studies have been contradictory with respect to the activity of EMF as a tumor promoter.
