Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs) and follicular lymphoma (FL) risk. Through a family case-control study in Australia, including 681 cases and related (n=294) or unrelated (n=179) family members as controls, detailed job histories and ELF-MF exposure were examined using logistic regression analysis. The study found no association between occupational ELF-MF exposure and FL risk, and further research is needed to inform occupational safety regulations and assess the potential role of ELF-MFs in lymphomagenesis.

Summary: During the past decades, the potential effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) on human health have gained significant attention worldwide. While there have been guidelines for magnetic field limits, further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of ELF-EMFs on organisms and systems, particularly the induced electrotherapy and potential impacts on human health under different frequencies and fields. This article systematically reviews the in vivo experimental outcomes and corresponding mechanisms to provide insights into the safety considerations of ELF-EMFs and advance the future application of electrotherapy in human health.

Summary: A four-year repeated measures study was conducted to quantify the long-term effects of noise, extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs), and shift work on liver enzymes. The study found that an increase in noise and ELF-EMFs was significantly associated with changes in liver enzymes. Shift work, especially 3-rotating night shifts, also had a significant impact on liver enzymes. Furthermore, significant interaction effects were observed among noise, ELF-EMFs, and shift work.

Summary: Previous investigations have shown the therapeutic advantages of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) in reducing inflammation and impacting biological processes. However, this study suggests that ELF-EMF has no significant overall effects on recovery rate following high-intensity exercise among athletes. Post-hoc analysis reveals modest benefits of ELF-EMF for younger athletes under certain conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 16 Hz extremely low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (ELF-PEMF) on neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. The study found that ELF-PEMF exposure did not induce reactive oxygen species and Ca2+-influx in neutrophils, and it reduced the amount of NET release. Therefore, ELF-PEMF exposure can be started immediately after fracture treatment.

Summary: The study found that working near solar power poles in the sun can cause low-frequency electrical stimulation, premature exposure to solar electron fields may lead to premature release of toxins from plants and fresh produce. Short-term or high-intensity electrical field exposure can accelerate premature skull opening, non-solidification analog shrinking.

Summary: In this study, we examined the effects of ketamine and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on depression-like behavior, learning and memory, and the expression of GFAP, caspase-3, p53, BDNF, and NMDA receptor in animals subjected to chronic unpredictable stress (CUS). The results revealed that the combination of ketamine and ELF-EMF had adverse effects on animals under chronic unpredictable stress.

Summary: With the growth of electrical power networks and electronic devices, electromagnetic fields have become an integral part of the modern world. This article reviews the effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on biological systems and discusses the mechanisms of their interaction with ionizing radiation. The findings of these studies are crucial for establishing more precise safety standards and evaluating their potential applications in radiotherapy.

Summary: The IEEE and ICNIRP have established limits for exposures to electromagnetic fields to protect against adverse effects, including electrostimulation at certain frequencies. However, the current exposure limits do not align, particularly for frequencies from 100 kHz to 110 MHz. Revisions to IEEE Std C95.1-2019 are recommended to address the rapid temperature rise and burn injury risk associated with finger contact and to provide better protection. Other scenarios, such as grasp contact and arcing, also need further attention and specific case-by-case solutions.

Summary: Clinical research is crucial in objectively identifying diseases and establishing diagnostic criteria. Provocation tests may not investigate the causal origin of electrohypersensitivity (EHS), but EMF exposure could still play a role as a symptomatic trigger.
