چکیده
The effects of radiofrequency exposure on the health people living near mobile-phone base stations (MPBSs) have been subject several studies since mid-2000s, with contradictory results. We aimed to investigate association between measured electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from MPBSs and presence self-reported non-specific insomnia-like symptoms. A cross-sectional survey conducted 2015 2017 in five large cities France involved 354 buildings located at a distance 250 m or less an MPBS main transmit beam antennas. Information environmental concerns, anxiety, symptoms was collected questionnaire administrated by telephone. complete broadband field-meter measurement [100 kHz - 6 GHz] then made points each dwelling, followed spectral analysis point highest exposure, detailing contribution service, including MPBS. median 0.27 V/m (0.44 for global field), ranging 0.03 3.58 V/m, being source 64% dwellings. In this study population, not associated However, symptoms, significant interaction found RF-EMF concerns. These findings do support hypothesis effect overall population. Studies are needed further positive observed among reporting

Systematic review on the health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations.
OBJECTIVE to review and evaluate the recent literature on the health effects of exposure to mobile phone base station (MPBS) radiation. METHODS we performed a systematic review of randomized human trials conducted in laboratory settings and of epidemiological studies that investigated the health effects of MPBS radiation in the everyday environment. FINDINGS we included in the analysis 17 a...
متن کاملTime Averaged Transmitter Power and Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from Mobile Phone Base Stations
Models for exposure assessment of high frequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations need the technical data of the base stations as input. One of these parameters, the Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP), is a time-varying quantity, depending on communication traffic. In order to determine temporal averages of the exposure, corresponding averages of the ERP have to be available....

متن کاملResidential exposure to radiofrequency fields from mobile phone base stations, and broadcast transmitters: a population-based survey with personal meter.
OBJECTIVES Both the public perceptions, and most published epidemiologic studies, rely on the assumption that the distance of a particular residence from a base station or a broadcast transmitter is an appropriate surrogate for exposure to radiofrequency fields, although complex propagation characteristics affect the beams from antennas. The main goal of this study was to characterise the distr...
