Recent advances in research on radiofrequency fields and health review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA-damage (strand break)
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: activity of the ornithine decarboxylase; cell proliferation; expression of proto-oncogenes (myc, jun)
• cell function: membrane potential, ion-flux (calcium, potassium)
• cancer: mammary tumors, skin tumors, CNS tumors, lymphoma, leukaemia
• effects on the reproductive system: fetal malformation, prenatal death
• endocrine changes: melatonin level
• effects on the neurological system: blood brain barrier permeability
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: memory, EEG, response time
• thermoregulation: heat regulation, brain temperature
• epidemiology: health effects; contact dermatitis; cancer-mortality
• ocular effects (retina, cornea)

Exposure

• • magnetic field
  • RF
