The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has published the 11th report from its Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields.
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has published the 11th report from its Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields.
The report has the objective of covering the previous year’s research in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The report gives SSM an overview and provides an important basis for risk assessment.
The present annual report is the eleventh in this series and covers studies published from October 2014 up to and including September 2015. The report covers different areas of EMF (static, low frequency, intermediate, and radio frequency fields) and different types of studies such as biological, human and epidemiological studies.
This report also includes an overview of how scientific evidence of different causal links between exposure and health risks have changed over the past thirteen years. The final remarks:
“A lot of research has been performed in the 13 years since the SSI/SSM started to monitor the research on EMF by a Scientific Council. In general, more clarity has been obtained on the absence of a number of adverse health effects that were suspected to be resulting from exposure to electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields of different frequencies. Some questions have not been answered satisfactorily and thus need more research. It is of concern that the design of the studies is not always adequate because that can lead to results that are not informative. It is thus important to critically review scientific studies on a periodic basis. The Scientific Council of SSM will continue monitoring and reporting on the literature on this topic.”
