Abstract

Overview

The study conducted by Balmori, A. aims to provide a thorough review of the scientific literature concerning the effects of mobile phone base station antennas on human health. This study emphasizes the real-world impact in urban settings close to residential areas.

Findings

  • Types of effects identified include:
    • Radiofrequency sickness (RS)
    • Cancer (C)
    • Changes in biochemical parameters (CBP)
  • Out of 38 studies reviewed globally, 73.6% indicated adverse health effects.
  • Complementary evidence suggests similar effects from other RF sources like radar and wireless meters, aligning with the observed outcomes from base station antennas.
  • Animal and tree studies near antennas support the non-psychosomatic nature of the findings.

Conclusion

The consensus from the reviewed literature points to significant non-thermal effects of RF radiation from base stations, contributing to various health issues. Despite these findings, there appears to be a lack of adequate information dissemination by responsible entities regarding these risks.
