Systematic review on the health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from mobile phone base stations

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...

Time 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....

Safety Issues of Mobile Phone Base Stations

Mobile phone base stations-Effects on wellbeing and health.

Studying effects of mobile phone base station signals on health have been discouraged by authoritative bodies like WHO International EMF Project and COST 281. WHO recommended studies around base stations in 2003 but again stated in 2006 that studies on cancer in relation to base station exposure are of low priority. As a result only few investigations of effects of base station exposure on heal...
