Abstract:
In the last 15 years, a new environmental health concern has emerged: electric and magnetic fields (EMF) associated with 60 hertz (Hz), alternating current (AC) electricity. Because recent reports in the popular press have stirred public attention, patients may well ask their physicians about it. The Soviets were the first to speculate about health effects from electric fields in the early 1970s. Other studies followed throughout the '70s and '80s. Public debate has grown to include concerns about household electrical appliances.
