Health Effects from Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields - RCE 20 review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation
• cell transformation
• molecular biosynthesis: gene expression, oxidative stress
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: apoptosis
• cancer
• effects on embryo/fetus: pregnancy outcome, teratogenicity
• effects on the reproductive system: testicular function
• effects on the immune system
• endocrine changes: melatonin and general hormone secretion
• effects on the neurological system: blood-brain barrier permeability; electrical activity; EEG
• cognitive/behavioral endpoints: cognitive function
• dosimetry/technology: exposure characteristics (especially of radiofrequency fields), dosimetry and radiofrequency field sources
• oxidative stress; effects on auditory system; mechanisms of action; research recommendations
