| | Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields (EHC 35, 1984) |
 | | To characterize ELF fields, the strength, frequency, and orientation of the electric and magnetic fields have to be determined. |
 | | The preliminary nature of the epidemiological findings, the low levels of exposure, and the relatively small increment in the reported incidence of any effects, suggest that, though the epidemiological data cannot be dismissed, there must be considerable study before they can serve as useful inputs for risk assessment. |
 | | The alternating fields at low frequency are related to thunderstorm activity and magnetic pulsations that produce currents within the Earth (telluric currents). |
