Mobile phone use and risk of brain neoplasms and other cancers: prospective study

Abstract

This paper describes the current wireless telecommunications infrastructure deployment regulations in Colombia. It also refers to the possible effects that this infrastructure could cause to the country`s health and environment. similarly, the results obtained show a comparison between the Argentina's current regulations, one of the most relevant researches carried out and the Colombian case. finally, some recommendations are proposed that can be considered in the project of regulations applicable in Colombia for the ensuring purpose that the non-ionizing radiation generated by wireless communications systems do not have effects on health and the environment. ResumenDescribe las actuales regulaciones colombianas para la instalación de infraestructuras de telecomunicaciones inalámbricas. También se refiere a los posibles efectos de esta infraestructura sobre la salud de la población y el medioambiente del país. Además, muestra los resultados de una comparación entre las actuales regulaciones de Argentina y el caso colombiano. Finalmente, se proponen algunas recomendaciones que pueden considerarse en A regulations' survey for the wireless telecommunications deployment in Colombia el proyecto regulatorio aplicable a Colombia, con el propósito de asegurar que la radiación no ionizada generada por los sistemas inalámbricos de comunicaciones no afecte la salud y el medioambiente.Palabras clave: Regulación de telecomunicaciones, Radiación no ionizante (RNI), Comunicaciones y salud, Polución visual, Instalación de infraestructura. ResumoDescreve as atuais regulamentações colombianas para a instalação de infraestruturas de telecomunicações sem fio. Também se refere aos possíveis efeitos desta infraestrutura sobre a saúde da população e o meio ambiente do país. Além disso, mostra os resultados de uma comparação entre as atuais regulamentações da Argentina e o caso colombiano. Finalmente, propõem-se algumas recomendações que podem considerar-se no projeto regulatório aplicável à Colômbia, com o propósito de assegurar que a radiação não ionizada gerada pelos sistemas sem fio de comunicações não afete a saúde e o meio ambiente.Palavras chave: Regulamentação de telecomunicações, Radiação não ionizante (RNI), Comunicações e saúde, Poluição visual, Instalação de infraestrutura.

Trends in tumors in the central nervous system in elderly in Denmark, 2008–2012

“…Only one of 66 monozygotic twin pairs were concordant for brain tumors and no one of 112 dizygotic twin pairs were concordant, supporting that inherited genetic factors only constitute a minor role in the development of CNS tumors. Other possible risk factors, like the use of mobile phones have been investigated, however, there is currently no consensus regarding the results [4,5]. Therefore, CNS tumors, in general, are considered as a condition without known causes or screening possibilities.…”

Malignant Tumours of the Central Nervous System in Kazakhstan - Incidence Trends from 2004-2011

“…Carcinogenic effect on the brain and nervous tissue of low-frequency (50-60 Hz) electromagnetic field, which is emitted by power lines and household appliances microwave and radio frequency (0.5-100 MHz), is the subject of many studies (Benson et al, 2013;Kesari et al, 2013). The mechanism of the possible carcinogenic effects of electromagnetic fields is unclear.…”

Estudio de las regulaciones colombianas para instalar infraestructuras de telecomunicaciones inalámbricas

“…In England BENSON VS. conducted a populationbased study in 2005-2012 to evaluate 791.710 cases of brain cancer, and its relationship with the use of mobile phone systems, concluding that there is no link between the use of mobile telephony systems and types of cancer: glioma and meningioma, while there is a strong connection with cases of acoustic neuroma, depending on the time of exposure, that is, the longer exposition to these systems, the acoustic neuroma risk increases [14].…”
