No significant differences between long-term exposed and never-exposed groups were reported for basal heart rate, systolic blood pressure, SpO2(%), or various hematologic parameters. During an acute 1-minute 900 MHz call, peak heart rate increased significantly in the long-term exposed group compared with the never-exposed group, and peak SpO2(%) decreased significantly in the never-exposed group compared with the long-term exposed group. Serum total cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides were significantly higher in the long-term exposed group, described as a mild alteration of lipid profile.

The article summarizes epidemiological data reporting increased risk of certain tumors in long-term (over 10 years) mobile phone users, particularly with ipsilateral use (reported case-control odds ratios 1.3 to 6.1). It also notes two epidemiological studies reporting increased cancer incidence among people living close to mobile telephony base stations compared with more distant populations, and cites experimental findings of non-thermal biological effects (e.g., ROS, heat shock proteins, DNA damage, apoptosis).

The paper advances a hypothesis that biological systems may utilize the geomagnetic field for functional purposes via ion cyclotron resonance-like mechanisms. It states that numerous ICR-designed experiments have demonstrated sensitivity of living things (to varying degrees) to magnetic fields equivalent to changes in geomagnetic field intensity and its temporal perturbations, and proposes an ICR-like framework for cell regulation.

Bedside measurements in 226 households found all measured fields were well below ICNIRP guideline levels. Night-time ELF-MFs (10 pm–6 am geometric mean over households) exceeded 100 nT in 2.3% of households and RF-EMFs exceeded 1000 µW/m² in 7.1%. Highest ELF-EFs were mainly due to bedside lamps (max 166 V/m); highest ELF-MFs were attributed to device transformers (max 1030 nT) or high current power lines (max 380 nT); highest RF-EMFs were attributed to DECT base stations (max 28979 µW/m²) and mobile phone base stations (max 4872 µW/m²). Simple reduction measures decreased exposures on average by 23 nT (ELF-MF), 23 V/m (ELF-EF), and 246 µW/m² (RF-EMF).

Pregnant rats and their offspring were exposed whole-body to 2.14 GHz signals (simulating base-station exposure) for 20 h/day during gestation and lactation at low or high SAR levels. No abnormal findings or adverse effects were observed in dams, F(1) generation, or F(2) offspring across assessed developmental, functional, hormonal, reproductive, and teratogenicity endpoints under the experimental conditions.

An additional experiment under supervision of foreign experts reported changes in autoimmune status in rats after long-term low-level RF EMF exposure at an incident power density of 500 microW/cm2. The article argues existing exposure-limiting standards may not account for mobile communications sources and may not ensure absence of health effects.

Rats exposed to 2450 MHz continuous-wave fields (incident power density 500 microW/cm2; whole-body SAR 0.16 +/- 0.04 W/kg) for 7 h/day for 30 days had higher complement-fixation antibody titers against brain tissue on day 14 post-exposure (1.19 +/- 0.07) than sham-exposed (0.89 +/- 0.05) and cage-control (0.69 +/- 0.08) groups. Antibodies against liver antigens were reported as less apparent.
