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 fiv...

results the prevalence of excessive mobile phone use was 36.7% on the students. there was a significant relation between the prevalence of excessive mobile phone use and mental health status in general (p > 0.05), and also somatization (p < 0.05), anxiety and depression specifically (p < 0.05), but no significant relation was found between the excessive mobile phone use and social dysfunction (...

Pico base stations are an important instrument to increase the capacity of mobile radio networks. Due to the limited spectrum availability it will be necessary to operate macro and pico base stations on the same frequency bands. In this case the transmit power imbalance between different base station types creates new interference situations. Coordinated beamforming is one method of base statio...

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....

Existence of low level electromagnetic fields in the environment has been known since antiquity and their biological implications are noted for several decades. As such dosimetry of such field parameters and their emissions from various sources of mass utilization has been a subject of constant concern. Recent advancement in mobile communications has also drawn attention to their biological eff...

In May, 2011, 30 scientists from 14 countries met at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France, to assess the carcinogenicity of radiofrequency electromagnetic fi elds (RF-EMF). These assessments will be published as Volume 102 of the IARC Monographs. Human exposures to RF-EMF (frequency range 30 kHz–300 GHz) can occur from use of personal devices (eg, mobile teleph...

The exposure of male mice to radiofrequency radiations from mobile phone (GSM) base stations at a workplace complex and residential quarters caused 39.78 and 46.03%, respectively, in sperm head abnormalities compared to 2.13% in control group. Statistical analysis of sperm head abnormality score showed that there was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in occurrence of sperm head abnormalities ...
