This is a monograph of the ICEMS (International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety) that evaluates the potential risk of the exposure to artificial electromagnetic radiations, and on the basis of the epidemiological data it declares that at least it's advisable to limit exposure to electromagnetic fields as much as possible. The monograph includes various papers on the topic: Preface
