Estimation of RF and ELF dose by anatomical location in the brain from wireless phones in the MOBI-Kids study

Modelling of daily radiofrequency electromagnetic field dose for a prospective adolescent cohort

“…Moreover, the output power of devices depends strongly on the type of data use and the network quality (Joshi, 2017;Mazloum, 2019; Persson, 2012). Thus, duration of use alone may not be the most appropriate metric for RF-EMF dose modelling (Calderón, 2022). Similarly, we are not aware of any studies that validate self-reported tablet or laptop use, but doubt that this would be feasible to monitor objectively at a large scale, and therefore think that self-reported use is the best possible approximation of use that is feasible to obtain for large study populations.…”

Impact of Radiofrequency Exposure From Mobile Phones on the Risk of Developing Brain Tumors in Korean and Japanese Adolescents: A MOBI-Kids Case-control Study

“…Regular mobile phone use was defined as use at least once a week for a period of 3 months or more in accordance with the international MOBI-Kids protocol. 15 …”

“…Regular mobile phone use was defined as use at least once a week for a period of 3 months or more in accordance with the international MOBI-Kids protocol. 15 The inclusion criteria differed in the international MOBI-Kids study in that tumors originating in the middle of the brain, where little RF energy deposition from wireless phones is expected, were excluded, although such tumors were included in this study. We also included additional controls from outside the Tokyo metropolitan area who were excluded in the international study, in which participants were matched on restricted geographical areas of residence.…”
