TL;DR

Electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency have been shown at a high statistical level to influence human circadian rhythms, which means that circadian rhythms can be used as very sensitive indicators to test the influence of ELF electromagnetic fields on human beings in general.

Abstract

Electromagnetic fields of extremely low frequency have been shown at a high statistical level to influence human circadian rhythms. This means that circadian rhythms can be used as very sensitive indicators to test the influence of ELF electromagnetic fields on human beings in general. Before discussing the special ELF-effects, the indicator itself has to be introduced. Therefore, some basic features of human circadian rhythms will be mentioned.
