SCENIHR - the European Union's Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks - have published recommendations for research on EMFs. These are a follow-up to their update on the state of the science of EMFs issued in January 2009.
On ELF EMFs, their research recommendations are:
"Extremely low frequency fields
- Experimental studies relevant to possible carcinogenicity of ELF fields (laboratory studies using in vitro and/or animal models).
- Studies on the association between ELF magnetic fields and neurodegenerative diseases (epidemiological study (cohort study or register-based case-control study) on Alzheimer's Disease and laboratory study using animal and possibly in vitro models of Alzheimer’s Disease).
Additional considerations
Environmental effects (comparison of selected ecosystem(s) before and after the installation of a new facility and/or located at varying field strengths from specific ELF EMF source(s))."
