| Título | Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks (Fiftheenth report from SSI’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2021) |
| Resumo | The results of the research review give no reason to change any reference levels or recommendations in the field. However, the observations of biological effects in animals due to weak radio wave exposure clearly show the importance of maintaining the Swedish Environmental code precautionary thinking. The hands-free recommendation for mobile phone calls remains even though trends of glioma incidences do not provide support for an increasing risk caused by mobile phone radio wave exposure. However, observed biological effects and uncertainties regarding possible longterm effects justify caution. No new findings that clearly change the suspicion of a causal link between weak low-frequency magnetic fields and childhood leukemia have emerged in the report. The authorities recommendation to generally limit exposure to low frequency magnetic fields therefore still remains. It is the Swedish Environmental code1 that applies when there is a need to assess precautionary measures in the area. |
