Mobile phone use and brain tumour risk: early warnings, early actions

Hardell L, Carlberg MReviews on Environmental Health (2024)

DOI

This review examines the epidemiological evidence on mobile phone use and brain tumour risk, including glioma and acoustic neuroma.

Key Findings

  • Long-term users (>10 years) show increased glioma risk
  • Ipsilateral use associated with higher risk
  • Acoustic neuroma risk doubles with heavy use

Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on sperm quality

Adams JA, Galloway TS, Mondal DEnvironment International (2023)

DOI

A systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental evidence on RF-EMF exposure and male fertility outcomes.

Key Findings

  • RF-EMF exposure associated with decreased sperm motility
  • DNA fragmentation increased in exposed samples
  • Effects observed at SAR levels below ICNIRP guidelines

Screen time and sleep in children: a systematic review

Carter B, Rees P, Hale LJAMA Pediatrics (2023)

DOI

Examines the relationship between screen-based media use and sleep outcomes in children and adolescents.

Key Findings

  • Screen time associated with later bedtimes
  • Shorter total sleep duration observed
  • Blue light exposure disrupts circadian rhythm

Baliatsas C, Van Kamp IEnvironmental Research (2022)

DOI

A comprehensive review of studies on idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF).

Key Findings

  • Prevalence ranges from 1.5% to 13.3% globally
  • Symptoms include headache, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating
  • Double-blind provocation studies show mixed results
