Reported Biological Effects
Henry Lai’s Research Summaries
These are invaluable resources that can are searchable by key words. These abstracts cover the relevant peer-reviewed, published literature documenting biological effects of non-ionizing radiation (ELF-EMF, Static Fields and RFR).
In the eight years since the BioInitiative 2012 Report was posted, there have been a substantial number of new research. The large majority of studies report biological effects as opposed to ’no effect’. The trend continues to show that exposure to low-intensity ELF-EMF/Static Fields and RFR at levels allowable under current federal public safety limits pose health risks. The updated files in the Research Summaries section detail the number of studies showing ‘effect vs no effect’ for free radical (oxidative damage), comet assay studies, genetic and neurological studies and electrohypersensitivity.
Here are the new results for 2020
