Resumen

REVUELTAS AGUERO, Moura  y  GUTIERREZ SOTO, Tania. Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields and their influence on human health: a controversial topic. AMC [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.5, pp.672-682. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: in all areas of modern life, exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields is increasingly present, its influence on human health continues to be a subject of worldwide debate by considered as possible human carcinogens. Objective: this led to a critical analysis of the topic based on exposure values ​​to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields, proposed in the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection and the existing bibliography consulted. Methods: a bibliographic review was carried out using the method of bibliographic analysis through a search carried out between 1979 and 2016, where specialized databases were consulted and 28 scientific publications were selected on the subject. Development: the International commission on non-ionizing radiation protection published exposure guidelines in 1998 and 2010, surpassing the values ​​of the second with respect to the first, which is not justified according to the numerous published studies on the subject that relate the occurrence of leukemia with magnetic inductions greater than 0.4 µT. Conclusions: biological systems are influenced by the magnetic induction of anthropogenic extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields. There is a need for the global projection on this issue to be directed at the immediate protection of persons with legal health regulations.
