WHQ Electromagnetic fields anti public health Page 1 of3 v World Health awQC 11 141 Facr shuct N 30 May uUr Electromagnetic fields and public health Base stations and wireless technologies Mobile telephony is now commonplace aroundthe world This wireless techrtol ogy relies upon an extensive network offixed antennas orbase stations relaying information with radioti cqucncy RF signals Over L4 million base stations exist worldwide and the number is increasing significantly withthe introduction of third generation technology Other wireless networks that allow high speed Internet access and services such as wireless local area networks WLANs are also increasingly common in homes offices and many public areas airports schools residential and urban areas As the number of base stationrand local wireless networks increases so does the RF exposure ofthe population Recent surveys have shown that the RF ex xtsures from base stations range from U0O2 fir2ofthe levels ofinternational exposure buidelines depending on a variety of Factors such as theproximity to the antenna and the surrounding environment This is lutveror comparable to RF exposures from radio ortelevisionLroadcast transmitters There has been concern about possible health consequences from exposure to the ItF tields produced by wireless technologies This fact sheet reviews the scientific evidence on the health effects from continuouslow level human exposure to base stations and other local wireless networks Iea lth concerns A common cintcern about base station and local wireless network antennas relates to the possible long terns health effects that whole body exposure to the RF signals may have To date the only health effect from RF tields identified in scientific reviews has been related to an increase in bodytcmpc rature I C from exposure at very high field intensity Potmd only in certain industrial facilities such as RFheaters The levels of RF exposure from base stations and wireless networksarcso low that the temperature increases are insitmiticant and donut affect human health The strength of RF tields is greatest at its source and diminishes quickly withdistance Access near base station antennas is restricted where RFsignals may exceed international exposure limits Recent surv cys have indicated that RF exposures from base stations and wireless teduurlugies in publicly accessible areas iududing schools and hospitals are norntally thousands of times below international standards ht tct due to their lower frequency at similar RF exposure levelsthe body absorbs up to five tinter more of the signal from FM radio and television than from base stations This is because the frequencies used in FM radio around IOU MI Iz and inTV broadcasting around i00 to4q Mliz are lirwer than those employed inmobile telephony 900 M1rand 18UU MHz and because a person sheight makes the body an efficient receiving antenna Further radio and television broadcast stations have been in operation for the past 50 or more years without any adverse health consequence being established While most radio technologies have used analog signals modern wireless teleconnnunicatiuns are using digital transmissions Detailed reviews conducted so Par have nut revealed any hazard specific to dilTerenl RF modulations Cancer Nlediu oranecdotal reports of cancer clusters around mobile phone base stations have heightened public concern It should be noted that geographically cancers arc unevenly distributed among any population Given the widespread presence of base stations in the environment it is expected that possible cancer clusters will occur near base stations merely by dunce Moreover the reported cancers in these clusters are often a collection of dilfere nt types of cancer withno common characteristics and hence unlikely to have a common cause Scientific evidence on the distribution uPcancer in the population can beobtaine t through carefully planned andexc euted epidemiological studies Over the past IS years studies examining a potential relationship between RFtransmitters and cancer have been published these studies have not provided evidence that RF exposure from the transmitters increases the riskofcancer Likewise lung term animal shutter have not established an increased risk cif cancer tT Om exposure to RF fields even at levels that are much higher than prochrced by base stations and wireless networks Ullrereffects Few studies have investigated general health effects in individuals exposed to RF tields hum base stations This is because oPthe difficulty in distinguishing possible health effects from the very low signals emitted by base stations from otherhigher strength RF signals in the environment Most studies have focused on the RF exposures irFmobile phone users Human and animal studies examining brain wave patterns cognition artd behaviour after exposure fo RF tields such as those generated by mobilephones have notide ntitied adverseeffects RF exposures used in these studies were about 1 OUO times higher than those associated with general public exposure From base stations or wireless networks Noconsistent evidence
