Das ganze Thema wurde wieder einmal untersucht. Und es ist diesmal eine Meta-Studie. Das bedeutet, sie haben mehrere Studien genommen, Ergebnisse verglichen, überprüft und zusammengefasst. Das Paper heißt:
The effect of exposure to radiofrequency fields on cancer risk in the general and working population: A systematic review of human observational studies – Part I: Most researched outcomes
Wenig überraschend kommt die Studie zu folgendem recht detaillierten (für Ganzkörper-Fernfeld-HF-EMF als auch Nahfeld) Ergebnis:
Consistently with the published protocol, our final conclusions were formulated separately for each exposure-outcome combination, and primarily based on the line of evidence with the highest confidence, taking into account the ranking of RF sources by exposure level as inferred from dosimetric studies, and the external coherence with findings from time-trend simulation studies (limited to glioma in relation to mobile phone use).
For near field RF-EMF exposure to the head from mobile phone use, there was moderate certainty evidence that it likely does not increase the risk of glioma, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, pituitary tumours, and salivary gland tumours in adults, or of paediatric brain tumours.
For near field RF-EMF exposure to the head from cordless phone use, there was low certainty evidence that it may not increase the risk of glioma, meningioma or acoustic neuroma.
For whole-body far-field RF-EMF exposure from fixed-site transmitters (broadcasting antennas or base stations), there was moderate certainty evidence that it likely does not increase childhood leukaemia risk and low certainty evidence that it may not increase the risk of paediatric brain tumours. There were no studies eligible for inclusion investigating RF-EMF exposure from fixed-site transmitters and critical tumours in adults.
For occupational RF-EMF exposure, there was low certainty evidence that it may not increase the risk of brain cancer/glioma, but there were no included studies of leukemias (the second critical outcome in SR-C).
The evidence rating regarding paediatric brain tumours in relation to environmental RF exposure from fixed-site transmitters should be interpreted with caution, due to the small number of studies. Similar interpretative cautions apply to the evidence rating of the relation between glioma/brain cancer and occupational RF exposure, due to differences in exposure sources and metrics across the few included studies.
Zusammengefasst lässt sich sagen. Es ist (ausgesprochen) unwahrscheinlich, dass Radiowellen Krebs verursachen.
Die Ergebnisse zu pädiatrischen Hirntumoren und beruflicher Exposition sollten aufgrund weniger Studien mit Vorsicht interpretiert werden. Da braucht es noch mehr Forschung und weitere Studien.
