290. Umbrella review of RF-EMF exposure from far-field sources and cancer in humans

Joshua Louis Ziegler

24/06/2025, 13:30

Introduction: Exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF; frequencies 100 kHz to 300 GHz) is ubiquitous. Concerns about potential health effects persist. The World Health Organization identified cancer as a key concern in relation to RF-EMF exposure. This umbrella review synthesises available evidence on the relationship between far-field RF-EMF exposure and neoplastic diseases...

291. The relationship between mobile phone use and cognitive performance in Swiss adolescents: Cross-sectional results from HERMES3 cohort

Adolescents are frequent users of mobile phones, which exposes them to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) during an important stage of their cognitive development.
We aim to investigate the relationship between cognitive performance and mobile phone use, including RF-EMF exposure, in a new cohort to contribute to a better understanding of mobile phone use in adolescents.
HERMES3...

292. Effects of recall bias on modeling cancer risk from mobile phone use: Results from simulations applying observed reporting errors to the Interphone case–control study.

The largest case–control study (Interphone study) investigating glioma risk related to mobile phone use showed a J-shaped relationship with reduced relative risks for moderate use and a 40% increased relative risk among the 10% heaviest regular users, using a categorical risk model based on deciles of lifetime duration of use among ever regular users. We conducted Monte Carlo simulations...

293. Long-term residential ELF-MF exposure and mortality from neurodegenerative diseases: an 18-year nationwide cohort study in Switzerland

Introduction: Extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure has been hypothesised to increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but epidemiological evidence remains inconclusive. This study investigates the relationship between long-term ELF-MF exposure and mortality from neurodegenerative diseases in adults living in Switzerland.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide cohort...

295. Multiple Communication Device Use of Young Individuals in Various EU Countries: Latent Class Analysis

Matthew Stamets

24/06/2025, 14:45

The exponential increase of communication devices by younger generations in the past years has made it difficult to identify the patterns and scope of their use. The heightened use combined with concerns about potential health impacts of these devices, highlights the importance of unraveling and identifying how individuals use these devices. The aim of our study is to use latent class analysis...
