View Original AbstractLiving near cell phone towers during pregnancy showed no increased childhood cancer risk in this large British study.
Plain English Summary
British researchers examined whether children whose mothers lived near cell phone towers during pregnancy had higher rates of cancer. They compared 1,397 children with cancer to 5,588 healthy children, analyzing the distance from their birth address to nearby cell towers and the radiofrequency exposure levels. The study found no increased cancer risk associated with proximity to cell towers or higher exposure levels during pregnancy.
Study Details
To investigate the risk of early childhood cancers associated with the mother's exposure to radiofrequency from and proximity to macrocell mobile phone base stations (masts) during pregnancy.

There is no association between risk of early childhood cancers and estimates of the mother's exposure to mobile phone base stations during pregnancy.
