Dr. Samuel Milham, a physician–epidemiologist, spent nearly three decades researching potential health impacts associated with electricity and electromagnetic fields (EMFs). In his book Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization, he discusses observed correlations between EMF exposure and twentieth-century diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and suicide.

He also suggests that dirty electricity and other EMF-related exposure may play a role in conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), infertility challenges, and other health concerns. He advocates for continued scientific study to examine these possible associations.

Other researchers and clinicians have similarly reported associations between dirty electricity and various symptoms or conditions, including asthma, behavioral concerns, ADD/ADHD-type symptoms, sleep disturbances, headaches, chronic fatigue, muscle and joint discomfort, fibromyalgia-like presentations, and mood-related symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and irritability.
