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.

Non-thermal effects of EMF upon the mammalian brain

Blood-Brain Barrier Leakages - Abstract for a presentation made at international conference entitled "The Precautionary EMF Approach: Rationale, Legislation and Implementation"

" . . . The situation that the weakest fields, according to our findings, are the biologically most effective, poses a major problem. The most pronounced BBB-opening effect of the cellular telephone may not be in the most superficial layers of the brain, but several centimetres deep in central cerebral structures! It can not be excluded that non-users in the vicinity of the cellular phone users, may be influenced by these weak effects . . . 

"Conclusions: If mobile communication, even at extremely low SAR values, causes the user's own albumin to leak out through the BBB, which is meant to protect the brain, also other unwanted and toxic molecules in the blood, may leak into the brain tissue and concentrate in and damage the neurones and glial cells of the brain. It can not be excluded that this, (especially after many years intense use) may promote the development of autoimmune and neuro-degenerative diseases, and we conclude that the suppliers of mobile communication - and our politicians - have an extensive responsibility to support the exploration of these possible risks for the users and the society. This is especially true for the new and hitherto barely examined 3G technique which sends microwaves of a different character, and it is quite possible that the biological effects of 3G differ from those of GSM."
