ABSTRACT
Potential health effects of radiofrequency (RF) have been reviewed in recent years by several national and international organizations (AFSSET 2009; SCENIHR 2009; CCARS 2011; Swerdlow et al. 2011; Sienkiewicz et al. 2012; IARC 2013). The most recent and comprehensive evaluations, conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs and by EFRHAN, classified RF from portable phones as “possibly carcinogenic to humans (2B)” (Baan et al. 2011; Sienkiewicz et al. 2012; IARC 2013) based on limited evidence in humans. The evidence came from observations of positive associations between glioma and acoustic neuroma and exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) from wireless phones in large-scale case-control studies.
