Immunohistopathologic Demonstration of Deleterious Effects on Growing Rat Testes of Radiofrequency Waves Emitted from Conventional Wi-Fi Devices.

Picture
"Conclusion:  These findings raise questions about the safety of radiofrequency exposure from Wi-Fi Internet access devices for growing organisms of reproductive age, with a potential effect on both fertility and the integrity of germ cells."

Fetal Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure From 800-1900 Mhz-Rated Cellular Telephones Affects Neurodevelopment and Behavior in Mice

Picture
"In summary, we demonstrate that fetal radiofrequency radiation exposure led to neurobehavioral disorders in mice. We anticipate these findings will improve our understanding of the etiology of neurobehavioral disorders. The rise in behavioral disorders in developed countries may be, at least in part, due to a contribution from fetal cellular telephone radiation exposure. Further testing is warranted in humans and non-human primates to determine if the risks are similar and to establish safe exposure limits during pregnancy."

Long Term Exposure to Base Stations and Mobile Phones Negatively Effect Human Hormone Levels

Picture
Eskander , Selim F. Estefan, Ahmed A. Abd-Rabou:  November 2011.
Significant negative impact on human hormone levels, including ACTH, cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin for young females, and testosterone levels, have been documented in this study. 
"The intensity and frequency of RFR and exposure duration are important determinants of the cumulative effect that could occur and
lead to an eventual breakdown of homeostasis and adverse health consequences. Therefore, greater commitment from policy makers,
health care officials and providers is needed to raise public awareness about the hazardous outcomes of long term exposure to RFR
."

Wi-Fi Electromagnetic Fields Exert Gender Related Alterations on EEG

Picture
This study investigated the influence of electromagnetic fields, similar to that of Wi-Fi, on brain activity.  The study concludes that Wi-Fi may influence normal physiology through changes in gender related cortical excitability as it is reflected by the alpha and beta EEG frequencies.  (July, 2011)

Analysing the Health Impacts of Modern Telecommunications Microwaves

Picture
"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..."

Pulsed Modulated 900 MHz Radiation Induces Hypothyroidism and Apoptosis in Thyroid Cells

Picture
"The overall findings indicated that whole body exposure to pulse-modulated RF radiation that is similar to that emitted by global system for mobile communications (GSM) mobile phones can cause pathological changes in the thyroid gland by altering the gland structure and enhancing caspase-dependent pathways of apoptosis."  (December, 2010)

Cell Phone Use and Behavioural Problems in Young Children

Picture
(December 2010:  Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health)
Original data set:  13,000 children; Second data set: 28, 745 children
Both studies demonstrated that cell phone use was associated with behavioural problems at age 7 years in children.

Non-Thermal Cellular Effects of Lowpower Microwave Radiation on the Lens and Lens Epithelial Cells

Picture
(June 2010:  The Journal of International Research)
 "It has been reported that exposure affects lens transparency, alters cell proliferation and apoptosis, inhibits gap junctional intercellular communication, and induces genetic instability and stress responses in LECs. These results raise the question of whether the ambient microwave environment can induce non-thermal effects in the lens and whether such effects have potential health consequences."
