Other Health Effects
"There are documented biological effects of RF fields even at low, non-thermal exposure levels, below Safety Code 6 exposure limits. These biological effects include alterations in the activity of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), in calcium regulation, and in the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Some of these biological effects brought about by non-thermal exposure levels of RF could potentially be associated with adverse health effects." Excerpted from page 3 of the Royal Society Report.
Published and peer-reviewed science gives evidence of the following health risks from exposure to wireless technologies:
Glioma, acoustic neuroma, meningioma, leukemia, DNA damage, chromosomal abnormalities, blood brain barrier leakage, calcium efflux, sperm head abnormalities, DNA and RNA oxidative damage in the mitochondria, reproductive abnormalities, Alzheimers, breast cancer risk, increase in primary malignancies, changes in corticosterone levels and immune system function.

Cancer Growth: Evidences from Radars and Mobile Communication Systems
Long-term Exposure to Microwave Radiation Provokes Cancer Growth: review published in Experimental Oncology 2011
"In this review we discuss alarming epidemiological and experimental data on possible carcinogenic effects of long term exposure
to low intensity microwave (MW) radiation. Recently, a number of reports revealed that under certain conditions the irradiation
by low intensity MW can substantially induce cancer progression in humans and in animal models . . .
It is now becoming increasingly evident that assessment of biological effects of non-ionizing radiation based
on physical (thermal) approach used in recommendations of current regulatory bodies, including the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Guidelines, requires urgent reevaluation. We conclude that recent data strongly
point to the need for re-elaboration of the current safety limits for non-ionizing radiation using recently obtained knowledge. We also
emphasize that the everyday exposure of both occupational and general public to MW radiation should be regulated based on a precautionary principles which imply maximum restriction of excessive exposure . . .
