High-level radiofrequency exposure caused persistent headaches, nerve problems, and fatigue in antenna workers, with no recovery after years.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers documented health effects in six antenna engineers who were accidentally exposed to high-level radiofrequency radiation (100 MHz) during transmission mast work in two separate incidents. The workers experienced symptoms including headaches, nerve sensations, diarrhea, fatigue, and general illness. Four of the men with the highest exposure levels showed no significant improvement in their condition years after the 1995 and 1996 incidents.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to investigate Effects of exposure to very high frequency radiofrequency radiation on six antenna engineers in two separate incidents.

Six men are likely to have been accidentally exposed to high levels of very high frequency (VHF) rad...

They experienced symptoms and signs which included headache, parasthesiae, diarrhoea, malaise and la...

The condition of four men, two men from each incident likely to have had the highest exposure, has shown no significant improvement. The first incident occurred in 1995 and the second in 1996.
