Potential emotional and cognitive disorders associated with exposure to EMFs. A review.
1. Published studies have found neither a consistent association nor a simple dose-response relationship between exposure to EMFs and emotional and cognitive responses. 2. The inconsistency in results and lack of a simple dose-response relationship suggest that the potential association between EMFs and cognitive and emotional responses is complex, possibly restricted to specific exposure frequencies and intensities and confounded by exposure to other stressors. 3. Further work to examine the association between EMFs and cognitive and emotional responses by specific electromagnetic frequencies and intensities in the context of known sources of stress is indicated.
