View Original AbstractLarge Swiss study found no increased childhood cancer risk from living near broadcast towers, even with decades of exposure.
Plain English Summary
Swiss researchers followed over 4,000 children for up to 23 years to see if living near radio and TV broadcast towers increased their cancer risk. They found no increased risk of childhood leukemia and mixed results for brain tumors, with their most comprehensive analysis showing no association. This large population study suggests that RF radiation from broadcast transmitters does not significantly increase childhood cancer rates.
Study Details
We investigated the association between exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) from broadcast transmitters and childhood cancer.
First, we conducted a time-to-event analysis including children under age 16 years living in Switzer...
Based on 997 cancer cases, adjusted hazard ratios in the time-to-event analysis for the highest expo...
Results for CNS tumors were less consistent, but the most comprehensive analysis did not suggest an association.
