Across high-evidence reviews in this thread, the most consistent high-certainty harm signals involve RF-EMF carcinogenicity in male rats (glioma and malignant heart schwannoma), adverse male reproductive outcomes (inc…

A multicenter case-control study in Iran reported that self-reported prolonged mobile phone use was associated with higher odds of confirmed and suspected breast cancer status. The authors emphasize that the findings do not imply causation and note limitations including self-reported exposure and potential residual…

This multicenter case-control study in Iran (n=226) examined associations between mobile phone use and breast cancer outcomes in women. Reporting more than 60 minutes/day of phone conversations was associated with higher odds of confirmed invasive breast cancer and of being classified as a suspected case versus

This case-control study (57 CAKUT cases, 57 controls) evaluated multiple risk factors for CAKUT, including mobile phone-related EMF exposure during pregnancy. Longer maternal daily call time and higher effective SAR (SAR × call time) were reported to be associated with increased CAKUT risk, while phone proximity when…

This cross-sectional online survey study (n=122) examined increased dependency on mobile phone technology and electronic gadgets in India during the COVID-19 lockdown. Most participants reported increased usage and perceived increased risk of health problems from excessive use. The authors conclude that technology…

This preliminary cross-sectional study of 200 women working in healthcare and trade assessed associations between wireless-system EMF exposures and emotional disorders.

This study assessed working memory before and after 5 minutes of mobile phone use using a brief computerized 10-word recall task. The experimental group showed worse performance immediately after phone use, with partial improvement 5 minutes later, while the control group improved across repeated tests without phone…

This exploratory survey study assessed the association between mobile phone radiation exposure and thyroid function among 83 undergraduate medical students in South India. The authors report a significant correlation between total radiation exposure and higher TSH levels, seen in students both with and without a…

This cohort study followed 114 migraine patients and assessed self-reported use of mobile phones, Wi-Fi devices, and fixed-line telephones as RF-EMF sources. Over a 3-month period, migraine frequency and severity were reported as significantly correlated with higher mobile phone and Wi-Fi use, while fixed-line…

This cross-sectional study of men attending an infertility clinic assessed associations between self-reported mobile phone and wireless Internet use and semen parameters. Mobile phone usage period was not significantly associated with sperm count or morphology, while motility showed a borderline association. Higher…

This cross-sectional study assessed whether daily mobile phone usage time is associated with salivary total antioxidant capacity in 105 volunteers. Participants were divided into three groups by usage, and total antioxidant capacity was measured using the FRAP method. The study reports a statistically significant…

This pilot case-control study compared 20 men with erectile dysfunction to 10 healthy controls using SHIM/IIEF scores and a questionnaire on cell phone habits. Weekly call time was not significantly different between groups, but men with ED reported significantly longer daily time carrying a switched-on phone. The…

This cross-sectional analysis used three Korean databases (2008–2011; n=21,693) to describe mobile phone ownership and use among children and adolescents and how these patterns vary by socioeconomic position. Ownership and use were higher among females, older students, and in 2011 compared with 2008, and the age of…

This cohort analysis from the Danish National Birth Cohort examined whether prenatal and/or postnatal cell phone exposure was associated with headaches in children at age seven. Using maternal questionnaire data for 52,680 children, the study reports higher odds of migraines and headache-related symptoms among…
