Why did the AGNIR report on power frequency electromagnetic fields, melatonin and the risk of breast cancer call for more research?
Although the AGNIR report on power frequency electromagnetic fields, melatonin and the risk of breast cancer found that exposure to EMFs does not appear to affect melatonin, nor to increase the risk of breast cancer, there is little information about the risk of long-term exposure to EMFs and especially if very small and presently undetectable, short-term changes might result in significant biological effects over time. Thus the report recommended that further research was necessary in order to improve the health risk assessment. The report contains a detailed list of research recommendations.
