Low frequency electromagnetic field, mobile phone, base station, and the risk of cancer

Year 2013, Volume: 35 Issue: 2, 311 - 317, 27.06.2013

Abstract

The association between low-frequency electromagnetic radiation including mobile phone and base station, and the risk of cancer has unclear. There are various studies which the long-term
epidemiologic data suggested that the use of mobile phone has not increased the risk of cancer, as well as positive studies. This review presents studies about the relationship between risk of cancer and low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.

Düşük frekanslı elektromanyetik alan, cep telefonları, baz istasyonları ve kanser riski

Year 2013, Volume: 35 Issue: 2, 311 - 317, 27.06.2013

Abstract

Cep telefonları ve baz istasyonları gibi düşük frekanslı elektromanyetik radyasyon ile kanser riski arasındaki ilişki henüz tam olarak ortaya konamamıştır. Pozitif çalışmaların yanı sıra cep telefonu kullanımının kanser riskini arttırmadığını gösteren çok sayıda uzun süre izlemi olan epidemiyolojik çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemede düşük frekanslı elektromanyetik radyasyon ile kanser riski arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran çalışmalar sunulmaktadır.
