Low-level EMF effects on wildlife and plants: What research tells us about an ecosystem approach
Abstract
Overview
The study examines the potential risks posed by low-level electromagnetic fields (EMF) on non-human species across various ecosystems and biological taxa.
Findings
- Discusses the significant sensitivity of non-human species to both natural and anthropogenic EMFs.
- Highlights that current human-centric safety standards do not protect wildlife, which may suffer from artificial EMFs in the low intensity ranges.
- Addresses mechanistic, genotoxic, and potential ecosystem-wide effects.
Conclusion
The paper argues that there is enough evidence to suggest significant harm to flora and fauna due to EMF exposure. It calls for urgent regulatory measures and specific guidelines to protect wildlife from the adverse effects of EMF.
