In the literature as well as in public media increasing attention is paid to possible health effects of exposure to low-frequency electric and magnetic fields, Experimental studies at the cellular level and mammalian studies in vivo have demonstrated various biological effects that are possibly associated with human exposure to low-frequency radiation. Although the exact mechanism of this relationship is not entirely clear, it has been indicated that low-frequency radiation might promote the process of carcinogenesis, although it does not seem likely to initiate it. A possible link between human low-frequency exposure and occurrence of carcinoma at child and adult age has been examined in some fifty epidemiological studies. A few studies have demonstrated a possible connection between carcinoma at child age and distance from electrical installations. Although the results point to an association between exposure to low-frequency electric and magnetic fields and cancer, further research is called for. In the meantime "cautious avoidance" of extended exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields is recommended.
在文献以及公共媒体中，人们越来越关注暴露于低频电场和磁场可能对健康产生的影响。细胞水平的实验研究和哺乳动物体内研究已经证明了各种可能与人类暴露于低频辐射相关的生物学效应。尽管这种关系的确切机制尚不完全清楚，但有迹象表明，低频辐射可能会促进致癌过程，尽管它似乎不太可能引发致癌。约五十项流行病学研究对人类低频暴露与儿童及成人患癌之间的可能联系进行了调查。一些研究表明儿童患癌与距电气装置的距离之间可能存在关联。尽管结果表明暴露于低频电场和磁场与癌症之间存在关联，但仍需要进一步研究。与此同时，建议“谨慎避免”长时间暴露于低频电磁场。
