Jan 1, 2017
This preliminary ecological study examined whether RF-EMF exposure in Albacete (Spain) correlated with incidence of lymphomas and brain tumors from January 2012 to May 2015. Personal RF-EMF exposure was measured across 14 frequency bands using an EME Spy 140 exposimeter and compared with tumor incidence by…

This in vitro study assessed whether RF-EMF exposure from a GSM 900 MHz mobile phone simulator and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router alters bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics. The authors report significant changes in inhibition zone diameters and bacterial growth rate after exposure. They also describe an exposure window…

This animal study examined whole-body RF-EMF exposure (900 or 1800 MHz) for 2 hours/day over 90 days in growing male rats, compared with sham controls. Exposed rats showed greater weight and length increases and higher levels of several hormones and calcium. The study also reports changes in femoral growth plate…

This census-based cohort study in Switzerland examined modeled RF-EMF exposure from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer risk using two cohort approaches. Across analyses, no association was reported for all cancers or childhood leukemia. Findings for CNS tumors were inconsistent, and the incidence density…

Jan 1, 2014
This animal study examined whether RF-EMF from cellular phones affects electrocardiograms in guinea pigs. Thirty guinea pigs were randomized to control (no exposure) or RF-EMF exposure (890–915 MHz; SAR 0.95 W/kg) for 12 hours per day over 30 days. The study reports no significant effects on ECG findings under these…

This study assessed and compared total RF-EMF exposure for a mobile-phone user in an office environment when connected to an indoor femtocell base station versus a conventional macrocell base station. Using a framework that combines near-field and far-field exposure, the authors report a 20–40× reduction in total…
