This study on electromagnetic fields (EMF) attempts to unravel the problem of how these fields affect humans and animals. It determines that risks of EMF exposure are small compared to the already existing incidence of cancer in the population. Five international studies completed since 1992 are excerpted and summarized. The concensus of these reviews appears to be a general skepticism regarding the relationship of EMFs to human health effects, particularly cancer.
