ABSTRACT

Due to the massive increase in non-ionizing radiation emitting devices, the social concern about the possible malignancy to its exposure has increased the research interest. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) included the radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) of mobile phones on the category 2B as ‘possibly’ carcinogenic to humans. Epidemiological studies noticed a causal association between the exposure to RF-EMF and the incidence of brain neoplasm in different populations, since this is the organ with the highest specific absorption rate. The fact that so many of the ipsilateral tumors found are statistically significant with RF-EMF exposure provides weight suggesting causality. In this way, the higher the exposure (ipsilateral vs contralateral), the longer the cumulative exposure (hours of exposure) and the longer the latency (beyond 10 years); the greater the risk. In addition, considering together all of these parameters suggest a strong causality.

摘要

由于非电离辐射发射装置的大量增加，社会对其暴露可能产生恶性肿瘤的关注增加了研究兴趣。国际非电离辐射保护委员会 (ICNIRP) 将手机的射频电磁场 (RF-EMF) 列为 2B 类“可能”对人类致癌。流行病学研究注意到暴露于 RF-EMF 与不同人群中脑肿瘤的发病率之间存在因果关系，因为这是具有最高比吸收率的器官。如此多的同侧肿瘤在暴露于 RF-EMF 时具有统计学意义，这一事实提供了表明因果关系的权重。这样，曝光度越高（同侧vs对侧），累积暴露时间（暴露小时数）越长，潜伏期越长（超过 10 年）；风险越大。此外，综合考虑所有这些参数表明存在很强的因果关系。
