  • 1. Rīga Stradiņš University, Riga, Latvia
  • 2. Region Sörmland, Sweden

Description

This report presents a narrative epidemiological review examining potential health effects associated with exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) generated by mobile phone base stations. The review synthesizes selected epidemiological and biological studies investigating cognitive outcomes, neurobehavioral symptoms, cancer associations, and cellular stress markers in populations exposed to RF-EMF. While several studies suggest possible associations between exposure and health outcomes, current evidence remains heterogeneous and does not establish definitive causality.
