Electromagnetic Phenomena and Health - a Continuing Controversy?

Sep 10, 2008 - Sep 10, 2008
The Institute of Physics London, England United Kingdom
 

Highlights

There are a wide variety of often highly controversial scientific opinions on whether low-level static and time-varying electromagnetic fields (as encountered in many everyday environments), may create beneficial and/or detrimental health effects in humans. Some high-profile scientists and policy-makers stress a general need for more rigorous guidelines based on their own and others' research, whilst other highly-respected authorities dismiss the general need for such options, after examining stringently existing peer-reviewed scientific research and noting a lack of consistent findings between many studies.

This one-day conference examines both sides of this debate, whilst also highlighting particular 'best-practice' 'precautionary principle' measures, and the possible need for further research and/or precaution with regard to some proposed/existing "enhanced electromagnetic hygiene" measures (some of which it will be suggested may actually prove detrimental to long-term health).
