Abstract

Relationship between the Exposure to Magnetic Fields during Pregnancy and Risk of Abortion: A Review

Overview

The study reviews extensive literature to identify the potential risk of abortion related to exposure to magnetic fields during pregnancy.

Materials and Methods

• Independent screening by researchers.
• Utilized keywords such as "Radiofrequency," "Mobile phone," "Electromagnetic field," and "Miscarriage".
• Search performed across multiple databases including Scopus, EMBASE, and Medline with no time or language restrictions up to March 2020.

Findings

• Studies indicate a significant difference in Extremely Low-Frequency Electro-Magnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) in participants' homes.
• Exposure to higher Magnetic Field levels correlated with a higher risk of miscarriage. Specifically, exposure to 16 mG increased miscarriage risk significantly.
• Statistical tests provided inconsistent results, suggesting the need for further research.

Conclusion

Threat of miscarriage is influenced by the proximity and intensity of magnetic field exposure. Resulting data underscore the significance of environmental factors in prenatal safety.
