Of all studies,73.6%showed effects Considering all the studies reviewed globally(n=38), 73.6% (28/38) showed effects: 73.9%(17/23) for radiofrequency disease (hypersensitivity),76.9%(10/13)for cancer and 75.0%(6/8)for changes in biochemical parameters. However, studies that did not meet the strict conditions for inclusion in the review provided important additional evidence.The existence of similar effects from studies from different sources(but with RF [radio frequency radiation] with similar characteristics), such as radar, radio and TV antennas,wireless smart meters and laboratory studies, reinforces the conclusions of this review.Of particular importance are studies conducted on animals or trees in the vicinity of cell towers,which may not be aware of their proximity and which can never be attributed to psychosomatic effects. Excerpt Introduction: Over the last few decades,hundreds of thousands of mobile phone masts and other types of wireless communication antennas have been installed around the world, in cities and in nature, including in protected natural areas, in addition to the antennas already in place (television, radio transmission, radar,etc.) (3) Only the aesthetic aspects or city regulations have generally been taken into account in this implementation,while the biological, environmental and health effects of the associated non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation emissions have not yet been assessed.The impact on people living around these man-made electromagnetic field sources (antennas) has therefore not been considered. In France,there is a significant contribution of mobile phone masts to the exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields(RF-EMF)of urban dwellers living nearby(De Giudici et al., 2021). Some studies from India indicate that more than 15%of people have EMF intensity levels above 12 V/m due to their proximity to antennas(Premlal and Eldhose, 2017). Exposure estimates have shown that RF EMF from mobile phone systems is stronger in urban areas than in rural areas. For example, RF radiation levels have increased significantly in Sweden in recent years, both outdoors and indoors, due to new telecommunication technologies,and the median power density measured for RF fields between 30 MHz and 3 GHz was 16 µW/m2 in rural areas,270 µW/m2 in
