Abstract

Overview

This study aggregates research findings published by the Department of Medical Biophysics and Public Health at the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, Martin, Comenius University in Bratislava. The research, spanning 14 years, examines the epidemiology of electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

Findings

• Thirteen principal publications were analyzed, with eleven studies focusing on radio frequency signals from mobile phones (GSM900 and GSM1800 standards).
• One study explored a newly developed exposure system, and another investigated the effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields.
• Notable findings include impacts on heart rate variability in both humans and animals, alterations in nervous system activity, disturbances in heart rhythm, and other physiological effects such as loss of concentration and sensations of burning in the ear.

Conclusion

The studies confirmed that EMFs affect human and animal physiology, with several parameters exceeding safe exposure limits outlined in the BioInitiative Report, despite adhering to ICNIRP standards. This highlights the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic field exposure, especially from mobile phones.
