Epidemiological studies since 1979 have raised some medical and much public concern that low frequency electromagnetic fields, such as those of power-lines and in domestic and industrial electrical wiring, may have harmful biological effects. These studies are generally inconsistent, inconclusive, and difficult to replicate. Identifying biological mechanisms by which such harmful effects may occur has proved difficult, although there are several new and promising approaches. In epidemiological and laboratory studies much greater co-ordination and standardization is needed if greater scientific knowledge of these phenomena, as opposed to mere diverse speculation, is to be achieved.
自1979年以来的流行病学研究引发了一些医学方面以及公众的广泛关注，即低频电磁场，如输电线以及家庭和工业电气线路中的电磁场，可能会产生有害的生物效应。这些研究通常并不一致，没有定论，且难以重复。尽管有几种新的且有前景的方法，但要确定可能产生这种有害效应的生物学机制已被证明是困难的。在流行病学和实验室研究中，如果要获得关于这些现象的更多科学知识，而不仅仅是各种猜测，就需要更好的协调和标准化。
