Laboratory research is being conducted to explore the potential relevance of EMF exposure to possible health effects, including cancer and effects on reproduction and the nervous system.
Work is also under way on exposure assessment and on risk assessment.
A final report should be released shortly. EMF research is under way in at least 27 countries. The program also is guided by the National EMF Advisory Committee, which includes representatives of public interest groups, organized labor, state health agencies, scientific organizations, and industry.
