EMFs and Breast Cancer

75 studies and articles showing effects of EMFs and the initiation and promotion of breast cancer.


Here are references and links to studies, books and articles highlighting effects from EMF exposures on breast cancer.  The collection includes some background documents, but excludes a significant number of papers linking EMF exposures to other types of cancer, which can be found elsewhere.
