Below is a list of links with useful information about these kinds of abusive and many times criminal and terrorist usages.

Exposure limits * Electric and magnetic fields in daily life * Regulation and control * Research and recommendations
Alternating fields with an extremely low frequency generate an electric current in the body. If the alternating fields are strong enough, this generated current can disrupt the functioning of nerves and muscles in the body and cause flashes of light in the field of vision. According to the recommendation of the Council 1999/519/EC, the following threshold values must not be exceeded by the fields so that these effects do not occur:

  • for the electric field, the limit is 5 kilovolts per meter (5000 V/m or 5 kV/m);
  • for the magnetic field, the limit is 100 microtesla (100 µT).
