Título Biological effects of exposure to non-ionising electromagnetic fields and radiation. I. Static electric and magnetic fields

Resumen This report concludes that there is no experimental evidence of any adverse effects on human health due to exposure to static electric fields or to short-term exposure to static magnetic fields of up to about 2T, although effects on cardiac function and behaviour from exposure to much higher flux densities cannot be ruled out. Evidence suggests that restricting occupational exposure to magnetic fields to less than about 2T will avoid acute responses such as vertigo or nausea. There is little experimental information describing the possible effects of chronic exposure; so far no long-term effects have become apparent.
