Abstract

Overview

The study delves deeply into the adverse effects caused by various types of man-made Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), with a significant emphasis on those emitted by mobile telephony which have been shown to be detrimental to biological systems.

Findings

• A comprehensive review of results from studies conducted between 2006 and 2016, focusing on DNA fragmentation in Drosophila melanogaster.
• Real-life Mobile Telephony (MT) EMFs exhibited significantly greater damaging effects compared to other types of EMFs, such as 50 Hz alternating magnetic fields or pulsed electric fields, which previously showed lower or varying impacts including increasing fertility.

Conclusion

The study highlights the elevated risks associated with exposure to polarized and variable-intensity mobile telephony EMFs. It emphasizes the connection between intense bioactivity and extreme variations in the electromagnetic signals, suggesting urgent revisions in public health policies and exposure limits.
