Adverse Effects of Wi-Fi Radiation on Male Reproductive System: A Systematic Review

December 12, 2019
Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine (TJEM) 2019 Volume 248 Issue 3 Pages 169-179 https://doi.org/10.1620/tjem.248.169 Abstract Extensive use of Wi-Fi has contributed to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) pollution in environment. Various studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of RF-EMR emitted by Wi-Fi transmitter on male reproduction health. However, there are conflicting findings between studies....

Wi-Fi decreases melatonin protective effect and increases hippocampal neuronal damage in pentylenetetrazole induced model seizures in rats.

December 12, 2019
Pathophysiology. 2019 Nov 21. pii: S0928-4680(19)30043-4. doi: 10.1016/j.pathophys.2019.11.003. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract AIM: Epilepsy is a common brain disorder in which the seizures could cause a neuronal loss in the hippocampus. Oxidative stress has an important role in the pathology of epilepsy. Some studies indicate that Wi-Fi increases oxidative stress and suppresses antioxidant systems. The aim...

Protection of the population health from electromagnetic hazards – challenges resulting from the implementation of the 5G network planned in Poland

December 12, 2019
Med Pr. 2019 Nov 29. pii: 114069. doi: 10.13075/mp.5893.00867. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract There is an ongoing discussion about electromagnetic hazards in the context of the new wireless communication technology – the fifth generation (5G) standard. Concerns about safety and health hazards resulting from the influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted by the designed...

Genetic susceptibility may modify the association between cell phone use and thyroid cancer: A population-based case-control study in Connecticut

December 11, 2019
  Abstract Emerging studies have provided evidence on the carcinogenicity of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) from cell phones. This study aims to test the genetic susceptibility on the association between cell phone use and thyroid cancer. Population-based case-control study was conducted in Connecticut between 2010 and 2011 including 440 thyroid cancer cases and 465 population-based controls...

Prenatal Effects of a 1,800-MHz Electromagnetic Field on Rat Livers

December 7, 2019
Abstract The use of devices, including mobile phones, generating electromagnetic fields (EMF) is widespread and is progressively increasing. It has also been shown that EMF may have detrimental effects. This is the first study to investigate the postnatal biochemical and histological effects of prenatal exposure of rat livers to 1,800-MHz EMF at different time intervals...

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOBILE PHONES AND THE RISK OF BRAIN CANCER MORTALITY: A 25‐YEAR CROSS‐COUNTRY ANALYSIS

December 7, 2019
Abstract We investigate the relationship between cell phones and brain cancer using brain cancer death rates for 88 countries between 1990 and 2015 from the World Health Organization and country‐level mobile phone subscription rates from the World Bank. We estimate difference‐in‐difference models including country and year fixed effects and time‐varying country covariates. We find that...

Environmental radiofrequency electromagnetic field levels in a department of pediatrics

December 4, 2019
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2019.108894 Note by EMFSA: the authors suggest that: In a department of pediatrics, decreasing preterm neonates’ exposure to RF-EMFs should primarily involve a limitation on the use of wireless communication devices by staff members and parents.

Limiting liability with positioning to minimize negative health effects of cellular phone towers

December 4, 2019
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2019.108845 Extract only, for more see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0013935119306425?via%3Dihub Although direct causation of negative human health effects from RFR from cellular phone base stations has not been finalized, there is already enough medical and scientific evidence to warrant long-term liability concerns for companies deploying cellular phone towers. In order to protect cell phone tower firms from the ramifications...

Siting cell towers needs careful planning

December 4, 2019
Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/12/191203162553.htm Date: December 3, 2019 Michigan Technological University Summary:  The health impacts of radio-frequency radiation (RFR) are still inconclusive, but the data to date warrants more caution in placing cell towers. An engineering team considers the current understanding of health impacts and possible solutions, which indicate a 500-meter (one third of a mile) buffer...
