Abstract

Humans are exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from various sources (e.g., mobile and cordless phones, base stations, TV and radio transmitters, wifi adapters). So far, there is no evidence that would indicate that RF-EMF exposure is causing adverse health effects with respect to cancer, sleep disorder, headache, etc. Some results of in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed negative effects on male fertility. When looking at those studies in detail, many problems are identified with respect to correct dosimetry and proper experimental design. This field of research is notoriously difficult for various reasons, and experiments should be planned and performed with experts from the respective areas.
