Why: Workplace exposure is a distinct setting, and this recent review identifies cardiovascular observations worth following up.

Summary: Reviews 14 occupational ELF studies; seven reported associations involving outcomes including arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, hypertension or haematological parameters.

Limitations: Results are mixed, and the authors say causality cannot be established. Occupational confounding, heterogeneous exposure measures and differing outcomes prevent a firm risk estimate.

Scope: A 2026 systematic review of fourteen studies on occupational ELF exposure and cardiovascular outcomes.

Exposures: ELF magnetic fields

Journal: Public health reviews

Heading: Occupational low-frequency exposure and cardiovascular findings

Id: REV-020

Kind: Systematic review

Topics: Cardiovascular effects; Occupational exposure
