Info

Effects of EMFs on Sleep & Brain Function • No base-station studies could be found. • Hamblin & Wood (2002) conclude in a review of 14 studies of handsets that: “in reality no adverse health effect has been found in any published human study on the effects of mobile phones”
Effects of EMFs on Cognitive Functions • One base-station study; several studies on handsets. • Some studies have found that EMFs emitted by mobile phones increase reaction time and improve memory, while others show the opposite effect. • Many effects have failed to replicate, even by the same research team. • Statistical power has been a large problem in this area. • We recently conducted a study with 168 volunteers, giving a power of about .80, and found no differences between GSM and sham exposure on a wide range of attention and memory tests (Russo et al, submitted).
