Short-Term Exposure to Mobile Phone Base Station Signals

Short-Term Exposure to Mobile Phone Base Station Signals

Individuals who report sensitivity to electromagnetic fields often report cognitive impairments that they believe are due to exposure to mobile phone technology. Previous research in this area has revealed mixed results, however, with the majority of research only testing control individuals. Two studies using control and self-reported sensitive participants found inconsistent effects of mobile...

How Exposure to Mobile Phone Base-station Signals can Adversely Affect Humans*

It is to be stressed that compliance with the ICNIRP Guidelines is not sufficient to guarantee safety – i.e. an absence of related health problems since the radiation can exert influences other than those depending primarily on its intensity; in particular, non-thermal influences, allied to certain frequency characteristics of the signals from a Base-station antenna, which slip through the ICNI...

Does Short-Term Exposure to Mobile Phone Base Station Signals Increase Symptoms in Individuals Who Report Sensitivity to Electromagnetic Fields? A Double-Blind Randomized Provocation Study

BACKGROUND Individuals with idiopathic environmental illness with attribution to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF) believe they suffer negative health effects when exposed to electromagnetic fields from everyday objects such as mobile phone base stations. OBJECTIVES This study used both open provocation and double-blind tests to determine if sensitive and control individuals experience more ne...

Effects of exposure to GSM mobile phone base station signals on salivary cortisol, alpha-amylase, and immunoglobulin A.

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to test whether exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by mobile phone base stations may have effects on salivary alpha-amylase, immunoglobulin A (IgA), and cortisol levels. METHODS Fifty seven participants were randomly allocated to one of three different experimental scenarios (22 participants to scenario 1, 26 to scenario 2, and...
