Case-control Study of Mobile Phone Base Stations and Early Childhood Cancers

Awareness and Self-Reported Health Hazards of Electromagnetic Waves from Mobile Phone Towers in Dhaka, Bangladesh: A Pilot Study

“…Access near base station antennas is often restricted where RF signal may exceed international exposure limits. Previous studies have reported that RF exposure might be associated with several adverse health effects and complaints such as cancers in children, headache, neurological changes, loss of memory, increased blood pressure, and damage to eye cells [7][8][9][10][11]. However, most of these studies did not find a direct association between RF exposure and health complaints in the study population, rather a concern for the RF exposure might be responsible for the reported health effects.…”

Assessment of outdoor radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure through hotspot localization using kriging-based sequential sampling

“…Another, more visual way of filling the public information gap would be the use of a heat map, an easily comprehensible graphical representation of the magnitude of the RF-EMF exposure over an urban, suburban, or rural area. Naturally, heat maps can also be constructed using RF-EMF simulators, or from non-measurement-based models like the ones by Beekhuizen et al (2013), Breckenkamp et al (2008), Bürgi et al (2008Bürgi et al ( , 2010, Elliott et al (2010), Frei et al (2009b), and Neitzke et al (2007), by calculating the exposure at arbitrary locations, probably using a uniform grid with a resolution of choice. However, these approaches are heavily dependent on accurate data, e.g., base station parameters, building coordinates, building heights, etc., data which is seldom readily available.…”

The Main Approaches of Studying the Mechanisms of Action of Artificial Electromagnetic Fields on Cell

“…IR study showed conformational changes in the acyl chains of the lipids upon microwave exposure. However, both IR and (31) P NMR did not show any appreciable changes in the head group part of the lipids [49].…”

“…It was demonstrated that is no association between the risk of early childhood cancers and mother's exposure to mobile phone base stations during pregnancy [31].…”
