- ItemCell phones and brain tumors: a review including the long-term epidemiologic data.(2009-08-06) Khurana, Vini G; Teo, Charles; Kundi, Michael; Hardell, Lennart; Carlberg, MichaelThe debate regarding the health effects of low intensity electromagnetic radiation from sources such as power lines base stations and cell phones has recently been reignited In the present review the authors attempt to address the following question is there epidemiologic evidence for an association between long term cell phone usage and the risk of developing a brain tumor Included with this meta analysis of the long term epidemiologic data are a brief overview of cell phone technology and discussion of laboratory data biological mechanisms and brain tumor incidence
- ItemEpidemiological evidence for a health risk from mobile phone base stations.(2010-07-28) Khurana, Vini G; Hardell, Lennart; Everaert, Joris; Bortkiewicz, Alicja; Carlberg, Michael; Ahonen, MikkoHuman populations are increasingly exposed to microwave radiofrequency RF emissions from wireless communication technology including mobile phones and their base stations By searching PubMed we identified a total of 10 epidemiological studies that assessed for putative health effects of mobile phone base stations Seven of these studies explored the association between base station proximity and neurobehavioral effects and three investigated cancer We found that eight of the 10 studies reported increased prevalence of adverse neurobehavioral symptoms or cancer in populations living at distances Under 500 meters from base stations None of the studies reported exposure above accepted international guidelines suggesting that current guidelines may be inadequate in protecting the health of human populations We believe that comprehensive epidemiological studies of long term mobile phone base station exposure are urgently required to more definitively understand its health impact
