EMR Literature Survey - March 2008
By: Karipidis K et al
Published in: J Occup Health Safety — Aust NZ 2008, 24(1): 53–62
The authors describe the construction of the ionising and non-ionising radiation components for an Australian job exposure matrix named “AUSRAD”. Exposure information was compiled for 22 occupations for ionising radiation and 51 for non-ionising radiation. The authors highlight the difficulties in collecting Australian radiation exposure data.

Study investigating cognitive and neurobiological alterations in electromagnetic hypersensitive (EHS) individuals. The study included 89 EHS and 107 controls matched by age and sex. Perception thresholds following single transcranial magnetic stimulation pulses to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were determined using a standardized blinded measurement protocol. The authors report significant cognitive and neurobiological alterations in subjects with EHS.

Review of studies investigating electromagnetic hypersensitivity to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from mobile telephony. The authors conclude that the large majority of individuals who claim to be able to detect low level RF radiation from mobile phones and their associated base stations are not able to do so under laboratory (double-blind) conditions.

As the title suggests the author describes the methods used to calculate exposures in two epidemiological studies of power lines in the UK.
