View Original AbstractMedical workers exposed to high-frequency EMF levels exceeding safety guidelines showed no immune system changes in this small occupational study.
Plain English Summary
Researchers measured high-frequency electromagnetic field exposure among physiotherapists operating medical diathermy devices and found exposure levels that considerably exceeded recommended limits. Despite this chronic occupational exposure, blood tests revealed no statistically significant differences in immune system function between exposed workers and unexposed controls. All immune parameters remained within normal ranges for both groups.
Study Details
The present study recorded a considerable excess of recommended exposure limits in the vicinity of shortwave diathermy devices used for medical treatment of patients.
Different kinds of field probes were used to measure electric and magnetic field strength and the wh...
No statistically significant differences between the control and exposed persons were found. In both...
