Abstract

Overview

Exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phone base stations raises significant concern due to potential health implications. This study focuses on the Vallecas area of Madrid, where the populace lives in proximity to multiple phone antennas.

Objectives

The research seeks to understand the potential links between health indicators such as headaches, dizziness, and cancer rates, and the levels of EMF radiation measured.

Methods

• A spectrum analyzer and an isotropic antenna were used to monitor EMF levels both inside and outside homes.
• Surveys were distributed, gathering personal health data from the residents.

Findings

The findings include statistically significant associations:

• Headaches: More severe in those exposed to higher radiation.
• Sleep: Reduced hours of sleep correlated with higher radiation levels.
• Cancer: A cancer occurrence rate significantly higher than the national average.

Conclusion

The data supports a direct correlation between increased electromagnetic radiation exposure and adverse health outcomes. It suggests the need for further investigation and possibly revising existing safety standards for EMF exposure.
