This mini-review discusses indoor radiation sources that may affect companion animals, including radon, radionuclides in feed, radiofrequency sources (phones, Wi-Fi, pet tracking devices), solar radiation, and extremely low frequency radiation. It reports that indoor radiation may negatively impact companion animal health and well-being. The authors conclude that preventive and precautionary measures are necessary to protect companion animals from indoor radiation exposure.

This cohort study of 1,666 women in Yazd City examined electromagnetic-wave exposure from commonly used devices during pregnancy and birth outcomes. Longer cell phone call duration during pregnancy was reported to be associated with higher risk of miscarriage, abnormal birth weight, and abnormal newborn height. Increased cordless phone use was also reported to be linked to abnormal birth weight, while other outcomes were assessed but not described as significantly associated in the abstract.

This pooled analysis of two prior human studies reports increased odds of prostate cancer associated with mobile phone use, with higher estimates for longer latency and higher cumulative hours. Cordless phone use is reported to show increased risk but not statistically significant overall, with one mid-range cumulative use category showing an elevated OR. The abstract also reports higher risks among men with more aggressive prostate cancer and among those with a family history of prostate cancer.
