What this paper brings together
A 2026 systematic review of fourteen studies on occupational ELF exposure and cardiovascular outcomes.
The authors’ synthesis or proposal
Reviews 14 occupational ELF studies; seven reported associations involving outcomes including arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, hypertension or haematological parameters.
Reading the connections carefully
Results are mixed, and the authors say causality cannot be established. Occupational confounding, heterogeneous exposure measures and differing outcomes prevent a firm risk estimate.
