After the summer, the year saw another series of diverse events on electromagnetic fields. Examples include the 8th International Workshop
on Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, held in September in Varna, Bulgaria, and the European Economic and Social Committee public
hearing on electromagnetic hypersensitivity on November 4 in Brussels. Related material can be found on the respective websites.
At the national level, the preparation of national regulations implementing Directive 2013/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents
(electromagnetic fields) is still underway.
Once again, I have found some fascinating scientific articles for this bulletin. This time, the bulletin starts with articles on field exposure and childhood leukemia. My attention was drawn to the fact that, according to one of the authors, the discussion on whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields are causally linked with childhood leukemia has been ongoing for almost four decades.
A couple of the articles discuss the association between magnetic field exposure and different physical symptoms. This has already been
extensively explored in earlier bulletins, but there are again some interesting observations.
The bulletin ends, as many times before, with articles on occupational exposure. This time, the research focus covers areas such as brain tumor risk.
Hope you enjoy reading this summary in English!
