Abstract :
Cancers or other health problems may be linked to a person´s long-term exposure to LF EM fields. But while study after study-nearly a hundred now-has investigated the possibility, anomalous results make a clear conclusion elusive. Little as yet is known about how such a health link might operate or what aspects of EM fields might cause these problems. Here the author examines whether reducing exposure to LF EM fields can be part of a prescription for health, or whether all the commotion is just the birth of another fad.<>
