Analysing the Health Impacts of Modern Telecommunications Microwaves

Dimitris J. Panagopoulos - Athens, Greece

"In the present study we showed that microwave radiations used in modern mobile telecommunications can damage DNA and induce cell death or heritable mutations which may in turn result in reproduction decreases, degenerative deceases, or cancer. We analyzed the biophysical and biochemical mechanism underlying this biological impact, and discussed dosimetry and protection issues. 

All healthy organisms have defense mechanisms in order to repair biological damages. But defense mechanisms are weaker in children and old individuals, and become also weaker during sicknesses or during stress conditions. Although even the most serious biological effects may not necessarily lead to health effects in an exposed individual, all health effects are initiated by corresponding biological ones. Thereby, biological effects-especially the most serious ones as is DNA damage or cell death induction-may potentially lead to health effects. . . 

The mission of technology is putatively to improve the living conditions of the human race. Technological evolution is accomplished by use of the natural powers, such as electromagnetism. But the use of these powers and the improvement of the living conditions must always be carried out without violating the natural environment, the powers of which we are actually using, and without undermining human health. Knowing the dangers of each new technological achievement and finding ways to use technology safely, might be even more important than technology itself."  Dimitris Panagopoulos

"This work is a tremendous leap forward in terms of consolidating the science around wireless communication technology. Dr Panagopoulos' presentation is well thought out and presented in a very clear and thorough manner.  I hope others move forward from this wonderfully thought-provoking paper.  Dr. Panagopoulos clearly is emerging as a thought-leader in this field."
