Abstract

Overview

Emerging concerns highlight electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure as a potential risk factor for brain tumors. Controversy persists within the scientific discipline due to diverse study outcomes. Over fifty relevant articles are assessed in this extensive review.

Findings

• Investigations involving various extremely low frequencies, exposure durations, and field intensities were conducted on both tumoral and non-tumoral cells.
• Distinct results indicate that cell viability within glioblastoma cells is notably influenced by frequency changes.
• Particularly, a frequency of 30 Hz, or proximate frequencies, may serve as a critical "window frequency" that can dictate cellular responses in both cancerous and non-cancerous cells.

Conclusion

This study accentuates the potentially harmful impact of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) at specific frequencies, emphasizing the need for rigorous and continuous research in this critical area of public health.
