The effects of radiofrequency exposure on the health of people living near mobile-phone base stations (MPBSs) have been the subject of several studies since the mid-2000s, with contradictory results.

We aimed to investigate the association between measured exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) from MPBSs and the presence of self-reported non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms.

A cross-sectional survey conducted between 2015 and 2017 in five large cities in France involved 354 people living in buildings located at a distance of 250 m or less from an MPBS and in the main transmit beam of the antennas. Information on environmental concerns, anxiety, and non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms was collected with a questionnaire administrated by telephone. A complete broadband field-meter measurement [100 kHz - 6 GHz] was then made at five points of each dwelling, followed by a spectral analysis at the point of highest exposure, detailing the contribution of each service, including MPBS.

The median exposure from MPBS was 0.27 V/m (0.44 V/m for global field), ranging from 0.03 V/m to 3.58 V/m, MPBSs being the main source of exposure for 64% of the dwellings. In this study population, the measured exposure from MPBSs was not associated with self-reported non-specific or insomnia-like symptoms. However, for insomnia-like symptoms, a significant interaction was found between RF-EMF exposure from MPBSs and environmental concerns.

These findings do not support the hypothesis of an effect of RF-EMF from MPBSs on non-specific or insomnia-like symptoms in the overall population. Studies are needed to further investigate the positive association observed between exposure from MPBSs and insomnia-like symptoms among people reporting environmental concerns.

自2000年代中期以来，射频暴露对生活在移动电话基站（MPBS）附近人们健康的影响一直是数项研究的主题，但结果却相矛盾。

我们的目的是调查测得的MPBS暴露于射频电磁场（RF-EMF）与自我报告的非特异性和失眠样症状之间的关系。

2015年至2017年之间，在法国的五个大城市进行了一项横断面调查，涉及354人居住在距MPBS 250 m或更短距离内以及天线主发射波束内的建筑物中。通过电话调查表收集有关环境问题，焦虑，非特异性和失眠样症状的信息。然后，在每个住宅的五个点进行一次完整的宽带现场仪表测量[100 kHz-6 GHz]，然后在最高暴露点进行频谱分析，详细说明包括MPBS在内的每项服务的贡献。

MPBS的中位暴露量为0.27 V / m（全球田间为0.44 V / m），范围为0.03 V / m至3.58 V / m，MPBS是64％住宅暴露的主要来源。在该研究人群中，测得的MPBS暴露与自我报告的非特异性或失眠样症状无关。但是，对于类似失眠的症状，发现MPBS暴露RF-EMF与环境问题之间存在显着的相互作用。

这些发现不支持来自MPBS的RF-EMF对总人群中非特异性或失眠样症状的影响的假设。需要进行研究以进一步调查在报告环境问题的人群中，MPBS暴露与失眠样症状之间的正相关性。
