Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)

Cell phone use in pregnancy may cause behavioral disorders in offspring - Science Daily, 3/15/12 - "This is the first experimental evidence that fetal exposure to radiofrequency radiation from cellular telephones does in fact affect adult behavior ... They found that the mice that were exposed to radiation tended to be more hyperactive and had reduced memory capacity. Taylor attributed the behavioral changes to an effect during pregnancy on the development of neurons in the prefrontal cortex region of the brain"
Wifi-enabled laptops may be nuking sperm - MSNBC, 11/28/11 - "placed a few drops under a laptop connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi and then hit download ... Four hours later, the semen was, eh, well-done ... A quarter of the sperm were no longer swimming around, for instance, compared to just 14 percent from semen samples stored at the same temperature away from the computer ... nine percent of the sperm showed DNA damage, three-fold more than the comparison samples"
Biggest ever study shows no link between mobile phone use and tumors - Science Daily, 10/23/11
Impact of cell phone use on men's semen parameters - Andrologia. 2011 Oct;43(5):312-6 - "Serum free testosterone (T), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) were collected from all patients ... Patients with cell phone usage showed significantly higher T and lower LH levels than those who did not use cell phone. No significant difference between the two groups was observed regarding FSH and PRL values. Our results showed that cell phone use negatively affects sperm quality in men"
Are Cellphone Towers Hazardous to Your Health? - Fox New, 8/1/11
Frying Your Brain - The Daily, 6/1/11 - "Experts are especially concerned that cellphone radiation contributes to glioma, a rare and deadly form of brain cancer ... those who's spent 30 minutes on a cellphone every day for 10 years - had a 40 percent increased risk of developing glioma"
Cell phone use may reduce male fertility, Austrian-Canadian study suggests - Science Daily, 5/19/11 - "Researchers in Austria and Canada have found that while cell phone use appears to increase the level of testosterone circulating in the body, it may also lead to low sperm quality and a decrease in fertility ... EMW may increase the number of cells in the testes that produce testosterone; however, by lowering the levels of LH excreted by the pituitary gland, EMW may also block the conversion of this basic circulating type of testosterone to the more active, potent form of testosterone associated with sperm production and fertility"
Cell phone use may have effect on brain activity, but health consequences unknown - Science Daily, 2/22/11 - "Metabolism in the brain region closest to the antenna (orbitofrontal cortex and temporal pole) was significantly higher (approximately 7 percent) for cell phone on than for cell phone off conditions. "The increases were significantly correlated with the estimated electromagnetic field amplitudes both for absolute metabolism and normalized metabolism," the authors write. "This indicates that the regions expected to have the greater absorption of RF-EMFs from the cell phone exposure were the ones that showed the larger increases in glucose metabolism"
Mobile phone use not related to increased brain cancer risk, UK study suggests - Science Daily, 2/17/11 - "Our findings indicate that a causal link between mobile phone use and cancer is unlikely because there is no evidence of any significant increase in the disease since their introduction and rapid proliferation"
Does long-term cell phone use lead to brain tumors? - Science Daily, 1/19/11 - "Based on an analysis of pooled data from different studies, researchers write, "[L]ong-term cell phone usage can approximately double the risk of developing a glioma or acoustic neuroma in the more exposed brain hemisphere" -- that is, on the side where the user typically holds the phone to the ear. That conclusion is consistent even with data on the long-term cell phone users from the Interphone studies"
Exposure to mobile phones before and after birth linked to kids' behavioral problems - Science Daily, 12/6/10
Prolonged mobile phone use may be linked to tinnitus - Science Daily, 7/20/10 - "Regularly using a mobile phone for at least four years seems to be associated with a doubling in the risk of developing chronic tinnitus"

Report Stirs Debate on Cell Phone Safety - WebMD, 9/9/09 - "studies are showing a 50% to 90% increased risk for two types of brain tumors -- gliomas and acoustic neuromas -- among people who have used cell phones for at least 10 years"
Do Cell Phones Increase Brain Cancer Risk? - Science Daily, 10/20/08
Cell Phone Use Linked to Male Infertility - WebMD, 9/19/08 - "researchers collected semen samples from 32 men and divided each man's sample into two parts. They placed half of the semen samples 2.5 centimeters away from a 850 MHz frequency cell phone in talk mode for one hour. Most cell phones used in the U.S. are 850-900 MHz. They chose this distance because it is the typical distance between the testes and the trouser pockets ... Semen exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phones had higher levels of damaging free radicals, lower sperm motility (the ability of the sperm to move and swim) and sperm viability (the percentage of live sperm), and possibly greater oxidative stress"

Mobile phones 'more dangerous than smoking' - The Independent, 3/30/08 - "using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long"

That decrease in hearing over a relatively brief period may not be noticeable to mobile phone users but would be of concern to a hearing expert"

Study: Power Lines May Aid Cancer Cells - Intelihealth, 10/29/01 - "electromagnetic fields disrupted the functioning of the hormone melatonin in individual cells ... Scientists have accepted since 1987 that the substance suppresses the multiplication of cancer cells ... They exposed two batches of the [breast cancer] cell to two different levels of electromagnetic field ... In both cases, the ability of melatonin to suppress the growth of the cancer cells was found to have declined. In some cells with smaller concentrations of melatonin, the suppressive effect was entirely absent"
