Physics and biology of mobile telephony review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA strand break, chromosome aberration, micronucleus formation
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell division, genome conformation; ornithine decarboxylase activity
• cancer: tumor promotion (lymphoma)
• effects on the immune system: corticosterone, immunoglobulin G level; lymphocyte cytotoxicity
• effects on the cardiovascular system: blood pressure
• endocrine changes: melatonin level
• effects on the neurological system: blood brain barrier permeability (calcium efflux); EEG
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: epileptic seizure
• thermoregulation: thermal effects in biological tissue (energy absorption)

Exposure

• • magnetic field
  • microwaves
• • TDMA
  • CW continuous wave
  • PW pulsed wave
  • mobile communications
  • mobile phone base station
  • GSM
