Data centers are hurting the ears of the people living around them.

    Here is the actual study https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0079610724001160?via=ihub

    Notably study detail:s say it was funded by whack jobs. Notably mice are exposed to much stronger fields than you are in your home or work unless you literally have a high tension line running through your kitchen by the coffee maker on its way to power the adjacent factory.

    It does not in any way suggest that the EM radiation people are exposed to has any effect on them.

      There is limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of 50 Hz magnetic fields in relation to childhood leukaemia (from epidemiological studies). This is why IARC classified them in group 2B, as possibly carcinogenic to humans. This is from the website that funded the study against the “whack jobs”.
