Radiofrequency radiation as an environmental factor

What is it about?

Radiofrequency radiation as an environmental factor Abstract Some studies reported associations of radiofrequency radiation exposures with certain tumors. Other research did not confirm that, or reported reduced health risks. Epidemiological research is known to be associated with selection, recall and other bias. Therefore, a narrative review, analyzing mechanisms, may be more useful than systematic one, assessing together studies of different quality and reliability. A moderate increase of registered incidence reported for some diseases has been out of proportion to the rapid expansion of mobile phones, being explainable by improvements of diagnostics. In some experiments, radiofrequency radiation was associated with the incidence increase of certain age-related lesions but, at the same time, with a longer survival of exposed animals. Potential thermal and non-thermal effects of radiofrequency radiation are overviewed here. In conclusion, there is neither convincing evidence nor theoretic plausibility of a cause-effect relationship between radiofrequency radiation and cancer. Reliable evidence can be obtained by large-scale animal experiments. To make experiments less expensive, it would suffice to maintain large animal groups in equal conditions and to record the life span. In conclusion, excessively strict safety regulations are unfavorable for the economy.
