“…This low-pass behaviour is consistent with recent experimental findings indicating the absence of harmonic cell response to EM carriers in the mobile-telephone frequency bands [41,42], and the presence of such responses to (very) low frequency fields [43,44].…”

Abstract-A general rigorous analytic framework for computing the transmembrane potential shift resulting from the nonlinear voltagecurrent membrane relationship in response to wideband stochastic electromagnetic radiation is outlined, based on Volterra functional series. The special case of an insulated cylindrical cell with HodgkinHuxley membrane in an infinite homogeneous medium is worked out in detail, for the simplest case where the applied electric is normal to the cell axis, and independent from the axial coordinate. Representative computational results for a zero-average stationary band-limited white Gaussian incident field are illustrated and briefly discussed.

“…As discussed by Foster and Repacholi [2004], there is no plausible, generally accepted mechanism for modulation-specific effects at realistic electromagnetic field intensities, and recent findings indicate that demodulation of RF energy (which would increase the plausibility of modulationdependent effects) does not occur in living cells or tissues [Kowalczuk et al, 2010]. The experimental evidence is strongest for effects on the central nervous system.…”

The biological effects of modulated radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields have been a subject of debate since early publications more than 30 years ago, suggesting that relatively weak amplitude-modulated RF electromagnetic fields have specific biological effects different from the well-known thermal effects of RF energy. This discussion has been recently activated by the increasing human exposure to RF fields from wireless communication systems. Modulation is used in all wireless communication systems to enable the signal to carry information. A previous review in 1998 indicated that experimental evidence for modulation-specific effects of RF energy is weak. This article reviews recent studies (published after 1998) on the biological effects of modulated RF fields. The focus is on studies that have compared the effects of modulated and unmodulated (continuous wave) RF fields, or compared the effects of different kinds of modulations; studies that used only one type of signal are not included. While the majority of recent studies have reported no modulation-specific effects, there are a few interesting exceptions indicating that there may be specific effects from amplitude-modulated RF fields on the human central nervous system. These findings warrant follow-up studies.

“…Similarly animal studies failed also to provide any consistent evidence for the cancer promoting effects of RF radiation (Gurbuz et al, 2010;Kowalczuk et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010). Epidemiological studies also failed to clearly and consistently prove an excess cancer or tumor risk (in terms of odds ratios) for cell phone users.…”

Introduction: Mobile phones are in extensive use worldwide and concerns regarding their role in tumor formation were raised. Over the years multiple studies were published in order to investigate this issue using several approaches. The current study looks at secular trends of brain gliomas (low and high grade) incidence and changes in tumor's laterality over 30 years in a population extensively using this technology with a possible correlation to the spread of use of mobile phones. Materials and Methods: All brain gliomas that were diagnosed from 1980-2009 were included and subdivided into two groups -low and high grade. Secular and periodic time trend analyses of incidence rates and changes in laterality were performed. Preferred side of head using mobile phones was assessed with a questionnaire in a sample of adult individuals. Results: A decrease in incidence of low grade giomas (LGG) that correlated with introduction of mobile technology was found from 2.57, 2. LGG's over 30-years period that correlates with introducing of mobile phones technology and a shift in laterality towards left-sided tumors, the latter occurred in both low and high-grade gliomas.
