Abstract Summary of the presentations and conclusions of 20 experts at a meeting on 12-13 June 1981 at Bad Münstereifel (Federal Republic of Germany). 90 studies under controlled conditions gave highly variable results, and none of the observed effects could be identified as a threat to health. Experiments with 50- and 60-Hz alternating electric and magnetic fields were emphasised.
