Description
Since 2024, the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) has been offering the information service “Spotlight on EMF Research”, which provides short reviews of recent publications with a focus on their relevance for radiation protection. In compact articles, experts from the BfS Competence Centre for Electromagnetic Fields place study results in the context of the current state of knowledge and assess their relevance for radiation protection. In addition, we offer Literature Suggestions to further reading.
Each spotlight article consists of two to three pages and aims to provide insights that will help decision-makers, fellow scientists and the wider expert community to interpret the results of these studies and to assess their relevance for risk assessment of EMF. Since late 2022, numerous publications have been reviewed, resulting in 48 Spotlight articles and 22 Literature Suggestions published by January 2025, covering different frequency ranges and study types.
To improve the efficiency of our literature searches, we have developed an in-house solution using custom Python scripts for citation management and an artificial neural network model for study classification.
