How Exposure to Mobile Phone Base-station Signals can Adversely Affect Humans*
نویسنده
چکیده
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 ICNIRP Guidelines. Of particular concern are the bioactive low frequencies that characterise the regular rhythms and ‘shapes’ of GSM and TETRA signals, and, in the case of 3G, of the permanently transmitted control signals.

Exposure to radiofrequency radiation emitted from mobile phone jammers adversely affects the quality of human sperm
Background: The health effect of rapidly increasing everyday exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation is a major global concern. Mobile phone jammers prevent the mobile phones from receiving signals from base stations by interfering with authorized mobile carriers’ services. In spite of the fact that mobile jammer use is illegal, they are occasionally used in offices, shrines, confe...
متن کاملLow-power density of 950 MHz radiation does not affect long-term potentiation in rat dentate gyrus
Introduction: Over the last decade, exposure to non-ionizing electromagnetic waves due to base station antenna has increased. This in vivo study was planned for evaluating the effects of whole-body exposure to 950 MHz field of GSM mobile phone system on rat dentate gyrus long-term potentiation. Materials and Methods: 24 naive male Wistar rats (3 month old, 225|¡|25 g) were randomly divided in t...
متن کاملShort-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...
متن کاملExposure to Mobile Phone Radiation Opens New Horizons in Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment
Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia and a progressive neurode-generative disease, occurs when the nerve cells in the brain die. Although there are medications that can help delay the development of Alzheimer’s disease, there is cur-rently no cure for this disease. Exposure to ionizing and non-ionizing radiation may cause adverse health effects such as cancer. Looking at th...
متن کاملCognitive and physiological responses in humans exposed to a TETRA base station signal in relation to perceived electromagnetic hypersensitivity.
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) technology ("Airwave") has led to public concern because of its potential interference with electrical activity in the brain. The present study is the first to examine whether acute exposure to a TETRA base station signal has an impact on cognitive functioning and physiological responses. Participants were exposed to a 420 MHz TETRA signal at a power flux densi...
