Appliance usage may be a main effect variable in epidemiologic studies of health impacts of electromagnetic fields.
The European Parliament was due to vote on new rules to limit exposure to powerful electromagnetic fields earlier this year.
But how much further should we go to avoid the constant barrage of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that surround us every day?
Some experts believe that the technique may influence the body's electromagnetic fields.
He pointed out that Professor Henshaw's experiments were carried out in the open air, and that houses provided natural "shielding" from the electromagnetic fields.
The electromagnetic fields, he said, altered the passage of time.
Concerns resurfaced in May when the World Health Organization classified electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" after analyzing the body of scientific research.
In 1997 the National Research Council issued a major report on the health effects of exposure to power frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF), such as those due to electric power lines.
Many other factors that have been studied do not seem to affect the risk of breast cancer (dietary fat intake, cigarette smoking, past oral contraceptive use, exposure to electromagnetic fields).

This theory was first aired a year ago following a small-scale study, and was ridiculed by the National Radiological Protection Board, the watchdog on health issues involving radiation and electromagnetic fields.
However, because of a different system of electricity supply in the UK, electromagnetic fields are generally less intense, resulting in only a few children found to be exposed to levels greater than 0.2 micro-Tesla.
