Do magnetic fields affect reproductive outcomes? Evidence against a link

Magnetic fields receive substantial attention in reproductive medicine (1). Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the environment at low levels. However, individuals in close proximity to electromagnetic field sources may be exposed to higher amounts (2, 3). Electromagnetic fields are formed by extremely-low-frequency power sources such as electrical grids and home appliances, as well as radiofrequency telecommunication devices (2, 3). Because of the constantly increasing use of electronic devices, a growing number of researchers question whether magnetic fields may be a risk factor for adverse reproductive outcomes (1, 2).
