Selected EMF Studies

Selected Studies of EMF Health Effects

These reliable websites listed below – which are not influenced by the wireless industry – stay updated with many thousands of peer-reviewed studies.

Below we have listed a number of the most sited and reliable studies, organized by health condition:

Autism Disorder & Cancer

Autism Spectrum Disorder:
Autism and EMF? Plausibility of a pathophysiological link – Part I  Herbert, M., Sage, C., Pathophysiology, Volume 20, Issue 3, June 2013, Pages 191-209 and Part II ; Pages 211-234

Cancer:

Brain Cancer found by the U.S. National Toxicology Program Cell Phone Radiation Studies,
National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health, 2018.

Brain Cancer found by the Ramazzini Institute:
Report of final results regarding brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to mobile phone radiofrequency field representative of a 1.8 GHz GSM base station environmental emission, L. Falcioni, L. et al, Environ Research, 2018 Aug;165:496-503, found here.

Breast Cancer: Multifocal Breast Cancer in Young Women with Prolonged Contact between Their Breasts and Their Cellular Phones.  West JG, Kapoor NS, Liao S, Chen JW, (2013). Case Reports in Medicine. Volume 2013, Article ID 354682.

Longtime advisor to the World Health Organization Anthony B. Miller, M.D.,  and other experts confirm radiofrequency (RF) radiation from any source now fully meets the World Health Organization criteria to be classified as a “Group 1 carcinogenic to humans

Oncologist and cancer epidemiologist Lennart Hardell, M.D., Ph.D.  published this peer-reviewed study, using the rigorous Bradford Hill epidemiological analysis on association or causation. Dr. Hardell concluded, “Radio-frequency radiation should be regarded as a human carcinogen causing glioma.”

 

Children’s Vulnerability

Children’s Radiation Absorption: Exposure Limits: The underestimation of absorbed cell phone radiation, especially in children, Gandhi, O., Morgan, L., de Salles, A., Han, Y., Herberman, R., Davis, D., (2012) Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, 31:1, 34-51

Electromagnetic Fields, Pulsed Radiofrequency Radiation, and Epigenetics: How Wireless Technologies May Affect Childhood Development. Sage, C., Burgio. E, Child Development, 5/15/2017.

Behavioral problems: Maternal cell phone use during pregnancy and child behavioral problems in five birth cohorts  Birks, L., et al, Environ Inter, updated 2017. This study of nearly 84, 000 pairs of mothers and children found increased risks of inattention and behavioral problems. These findings were confirmed in this Yale University experimental study, Fetal Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure From 800-1900 Mhz-Rated Cellular Telephones Affects Neurodevelopment and Behavior in Mice,  Aldad, T., Scientific Reports and Yale News, 3/15/12.

Children’s Cognitive Function: Mobile Phone Base Station Tower Settings Adjacent to School Buildings: Impact on Students’ Cognitive Health.  Mao SA et al. American Journal of Men’s Health. 12/7/2018. 

Memory in Adolescents: A Prospective Cohort Study of Adolescents’ Memory Performance and Individual Brain Dose of Microwave Radiation from Wireless Communication. Foerster., M et al, Environmental Health Perspectives 126, 2018

Depression & Mood Symptoms: Microwave frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produce widespread neuropsychiatric effects including depression, Pall, M., Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy 75 (2016) 43–51.

Electro-HyperSensitivity: EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses.  Reviews on Environmental Health, July 2016. This is the gold-standard guidance from the European Academy of Environmental Medicine.

Oxidative Stress/ Immune Effects: Oxidative mechanisms of biological activity of low-intensity radiofrequency radiation,  Yakymenko, I., et al,; Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, 2016, Vol 35, No. 2, 186-202. This crucial study indicates that among 100 currently available peer-reviewed studies dealing with oxidative effects of low-intensity RFR, 93 confirmed that RFR induces oxidative effects in biological systems.
