View Original AbstractLarge Motorola worker study found no increased brain cancer or blood cancer risk from occupational RF exposure over 20 years.
Plain English Summary
Researchers followed nearly 200,000 Motorola employees for 20 years to see if workplace radiofrequency exposure increased their risk of brain cancer, lymphoma, or leukemia. Workers exposed to RF radiation actually had lower rates of these cancers compared to the general population, with no increase in cancer risk even among those with the highest exposures or longest work duration.
Study Details
The proliferation of wireless communication technologies has raised public concern regarding potential health effects of radiofrequency (RF) exposures. This is the first report of findings from a large-cohort mortality study among employees of Motorola, a manufacturer of wireless communication products.
We examined all major causes of mortality, with brain cancers, lymphomas, and leukemias as a priori ...
Using external comparisons, the standardized mortality ratios for RF-exposed workers were 0.53 [95% ...
