View Original AbstractWell-designed studies found no link between cell tower radiation and immediate symptoms, but long-term health effects remain understudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers reviewed 17 studies examining whether cell phone towers cause health symptoms in people living nearby. They found that well-designed laboratory studies showed no connection between tower radiation and acute symptoms, while studies with less precise measurement methods were more likely to report effects. The review concluded there's strong evidence that cell tower radiation up to 10 volts per meter doesn't cause immediate symptoms, but insufficient data exists on long-term health effects.
Study Details
to review and evaluate the recent literature on the health effects of exposure to mobile phone base station (MPBS) radiation.
we performed a systematic review of randomized human trials conducted in laboratory settings and of ...
we included in the analysis 17 articles that met our basic quality criteria: 5 randomized human labo...
the evidence for a missing relationship between MPBS exposure up to 10 volts per metre and acute symptom development can be considered strong because it is based on randomized, blinded human laboratory trials. At present, there is insufficient data to draw firm conclusions about health effects from long-term low-level exposure typically occurring in the everyday environment.
