Greek homes showed EMF levels below regulatory limits, but these decades-old standards don't account for modern biological research.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Greek researchers measured electromagnetic field levels in over 4,500 indoor locations across three regions, focusing on extremely low frequency magnetic fields and radiofrequency electric fields that health agencies consider possibly cancer-causing. They found that while EMF levels varied by location and distance from sources, all measurements remained well below current safety limits set by European regulators. The study provides baseline data on typical indoor EMF exposure levels in Greek homes.

Study Details

The main purpose of this work was to investigate the fluctuation of Greek indoor electromagnetic field (EMF) intensity values and identify peaks that might occur.

The scientific interest is mainly focused on the bands of extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fie...

Statistical analysis of the data revealed specific statistically significant differences between the...

It may be concluded that overall, the observed indoor EMF intensity values remained well below domestic and European established limits.
