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.

Human Hormone Profiles and mobile phones and towers
How does long term exposure to base stations and mobile phones affect them?
Article in Press from Clinical Biochemistry Journal
Introduction:
"Because of the increase in the usage of wireless communication
devices of mobile phones in recent years, there is an anxious concern
on the possible hazardous effects of prolonged exposure to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). In considering the biological effects of RFR, the intensity and frequency of the radiation and exposure duration are important determinants of the responses.
"It has been reported that exposure to RFR could affect the nervous system. Hardell et al. found that cell phone users had an increased risk of malignant gliomas. Subjecting human spermatozoa to RFR showed decrease in sperms motility and vitality and increase in DNA fragmentation. The authors hypothesize that the high sporadic incidence of the clinical symptoms of the autoimmune multiple Sclerosis disease may be a result of long exposure to RFR from mobiles.
"This study is concerned with assessing the effect of RFR emitted from mobile phones and base stations on human hormone profiles, with anticipation to offer recommendations to assure health care and safety for humans continuously exposed to radio frequency radiation . . .
