Potential health risks of radiofrequency fields from wireless telecommunication devices review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA damage, mutation
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: cell proliferation
• cell function: effects on calcium efflux, ornithine decarboxylase, polyamines, blood brain barrier
• cancer: carcinogenicity, tumor promotion; leukemia, breast cancer, childhood cancer
• effects on embryo/fetus: congenital abnormality
• effects on the reproductive system: reproductive outcomes, abortions
• morphol./histopathol. changes: effects on eyes
• endocrine changes: melatonin secretion
• effects on the neurological system: neurologic diseases, depression
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: behavioural effects, motor vehicle accidents
• hypersensitivity/subjective complaints: headache, fatigue
• sleep: sleep disorders
• epidemiology: epidemiologic evidence, exposure assessment, see "cancer"
