1. Introduction<br />
Last 25 years, intensive research has been conducting to examine whether electric and<br />
magnetic fields affect human health or not, especially in 50/60 Hz extremely low frequency<br />
magnetic fields as power frequency and radio frequency (0.8-2.45 GHz) in mobile phone<br />
technology. However, the biological effects of intermediate frequency (IF; from 300 Hz to<br />
10 MHz) MFs have not been studied enough to estimate its health risk, although several<br />
technologies and equipments such as IH cooking hobs, RFID, EAS, etc, that generate IF-MFs<br />
have already used in public and occupational environments. Therefore, in the WHO EHC<br />
