Abstract
This paper summarized the electric and magnetic fields of extremely low frequency (ELF-EMF) exposure limits in some countries or international organizations and contrast that with ICNIRP guidelines, with considering our electromagnetic environment and the conclusion of human health risk assessment by World Health Organization(WHO), analysis a number of different viewpoints, it shows that there is not a significant environmental impact on residential of ELF-EMF and the necessary for correctly understand the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines.
