| description | Abstract: Devices that emit electromagnetic fields (EMF) have become a part of our daily life and can be found in telecommunications, industry, traffic, science, medicine and in every household. Due to the fact that general public is massively exposed to the EMF, even very small health effects could become a serious public health problem. Many studies show that the EMF above a certain threshold can have a negative health impact. The studies, which could explain the question of health risks as a result of chronic exposure to low intensities, are often contradictory and deficient. In this review the state of the art in the field of health risks associated with the EMF exposure in our environment is presented. |
