Abstract

There is a growing concern in the population about the effects that environmental exposure to any source of “uncontrolled” radiation may have on public health. Anxiety arises from the controversial knowledge about the effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure to cells and organisms but most of all concerning the possible causal relation to human diseases. Here we reviewed those in vitro and in vivo and epidemiological works that gave a new insight about the effect of radio frequency (RF) exposure, relating to intracellular molecular pathways that lead to biological and functional outcomes. It appears that a thorough application of standardized protocols is the key to reliable data acquisition and interpretation that could contribute a clearer picture for scientists and lay public. Moreover, specific tuning of experimental and clinical RF exposure might lead to beneficial health effects.

Highlights

  • For surfers all over the world, the perfect wave is a dream, a myth that will probably never materialize

  • Exposure time, while EPO, IL8, STAT5B and VAV2, PGF, HPSE appear to be strongly activated. It appears that in lymphoblastic leukemia cells, the 900 MHz MW-electromagnetic field (EMF) may act as a double target negative regulator of genes: it affects the control of chromosomal organization and induces inhibition of angiogenesis that leads to tumor progression and metastatic transformation

  • The complexity of the picture does not allow for the underestimation of possibly undiscovered adverse effects on developing biological systems [89], and these data must be evaluated in light of involuntary EMF environmental pollution exposure to children

Summary

Introduction

For surfers all over the world, the perfect wave is a dream, a myth that will probably never materialize. Many of them know that to tame and control it is a matter of calculable strength, physics and power. Likewise, dealing with all the possible implications concerning electromagnetic. 2014, 15 field exposure is an exquisite matter of equilibrium between public health and social benefits. We set to review those recent reports that in our opinion added some new insight on the current knowledge about radiofrequency (RF) effects on a biological system. The mounting literature regarding the consequences of extremely low frequency-electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) and RF exposure on cancer and the possible exploitation of RF in cancer treatment has been thoroughly reviewed elsewhere [1,2] and constitutes the basis for international and local regulatory authority guidelines for the environmental and commercial exposure to RF (National Institute of Health ISS) [3]
