This cross-sectional study compared male students from two schools with different measured RF-EMFR levels inside the buildings, attributed to nearby mobile phone base stations (~200 m away). The higher-exposure school had a significantly higher mean HbA1c than the lower-exposure school. The authors also report a…
Environmental Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields Exposure at Home, Mobile and Cordless Phone Use, and Sleep Problems in 7-Year-Old Children

Oct 28, 2015
This cohort study of 2,361 seven-year-old children assessed modeled residential/school RF-EMF from base stations, reported indoor sources, and children’s mobile/cordless phone use in relation to parent-reported sleep quality. Most sleep subscales were not associated with base-station RF-EMF, though sleep duration…

Jan 1, 2015
This exposure-assessment study compared modeled at-home RF-EMF from mobile phone base stations (NISMap) with 24-hour personal measurements in 93 Dutch participants. Correlations were low to moderate, with better agreement for time spent at home than for the full 24-hour period. While modeled estimates could rank…

Jan 1, 2015
This engineering study addresses inter-cell interference in LTE networks as a driver of packet loss between base stations and mobile stations. It examines Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR) and implements a new hybrid frequency reuse method with greater total system bandwidth than SFR while keeping per-cell bandwidth the…
Exposure Knowledge and Risk Perception of RF EMF.

Jan 1, 2014
This cross-sectional survey study (LEXNET project) examined how subjective exposure knowledge relates to risk perception (RP) for different RF EMF sources. Respondents were more concerned about base stations than other sources. Regression results suggested that most exposure-characteristic features (except distance)…
Are people living next to mobile phone base stations more strained? Relationship of health concerns, self-estimated distance to base station, and psychological parameters.

Jan 1, 2009
This cross-sectional study surveyed 57 participants about perceived proximity to mobile phone base stations, EMF-related concerns, and psychological strain, and also collected saliva biomarkers. Self-declared base station neighbors (≤100 m) showed higher salivary alpha-amylase and higher symptom checklist scores on…
[Assessment of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields levels in the Taranto area].

Jan 1, 2007
This study reports punctual monitoring of RF electromagnetic fields from radiobase stations in the Taranto area, with measurement campaigns conducted from November 2005 to March 2007. Measurements covered 108 transmitting stations across multiple communication technologies within 100 kHz to 3 GHz. Most monitored…
