Acute effects of electromagnetic fields emitted by GSM mobile phones on subjective well-being and physiological reactions: a meta-analysis.
Augner C, Gnambs T, Winker R, Barth A. · 2012
View Original AbstractShort-term cell phone radiation showed no immediate effects on well-being, but long-term exposure risks remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers analyzed 17 studies involving 1,174 people to determine whether short-term exposure to cell phone radiation affects well-being in both people who consider themselves sensitive to electromagnetic fields and those who don't. They found no significant effects on either subjective symptoms (like headaches) or objective measures (like heart rate changes). The authors noted that future research should examine long-term exposure effects instead.
Study Details
The current meta-analysis aims to clarify whether RF-EMF have an influence on well-being in self-reported sensitive persons, as well as in non-sensitive people.
A literature search revealed 17 studies including 1174 participants. The single effects for various ...
The results show no significant impact of short-term RF-EMF exposure on any parameter.
Future research should focus on the possible effects of long-term exposure.
