- Survey of Ophthalmology: The formation of cataracts seems to be related directly to the power of the microwave and the duration of exposure. The mechanism of cataractogenesis includes deformation of heat-labile enzymes, such as glutathione peroxide, that ordinarily protect lens cell proteins and membrane lipids from oxidative damage.
- Bioelectromagnetics: Both gene and protein expressions of retinal progenitor cell markers were reduced when exposed to “safe” doses of pulsed EMF (1 mT, 50 Hz, 8 hours/day for 3 days).
- Pathologie-Biologie (France): Mobile phones may cause blurring of vision, and secretion from, inflammation in, and lacrimation (flow of tears) from the eyes.
- Congenital Anomalies: Derangement of chicken embryo retinal differentiation caused by exposure to RF EMF from a mobile phone (1800 MHz, 15 min, twice daily). (Link to complete study)
- Bratislava Medical Journal (Slovakia): Eye cells recognize EMF as a stress factor, and in response, activate gene expressions. RF-EMF can cause cellular damage in rat ocular cells.
- Current Eye Research: Mobile telephone radiation leads to oxidative stress in corneal and lens tissues of rats.
- Open Ophthalmology Journal: Non thermal exposure of bovine eye lenses to (1.1 GHz, 2.22 mW) microwaves caused a reversible decrease in lens optical quality accompanied by irreversible morphological and biochemical damage to the lens epithelial cell layer. The effect of the electromagnetic radiation on the lens epithelium was remarkably different from those of conductive heat.
- Physics in Medicine and Biology: The geometry of a child’s head significantly increases mobile phone EMF absorption in the brain, eye, cortex, hippocampus, and hypothalamus. Children have especially high bone marrow conductivity, greatly increasing EMF absorption.
- Journal of International Medical Research: Microwave exposure produces non-thermal effects at the cellular and molecular levels that correlate with damage to lens tissues in the eye, and may be cataractogenic.
- American Journal of Industrial Medicine: OSHA noted increased incidence cancers of the testes, blood, brain, eye, and skin among police officers working with traffic radar. Among 22,197 officers employed by 83 Ontario (Canada) police departments, there are statistically significant rates of testicular and skin cancers.
- Occupational Medicine (Polish): Survey revealed that people living in the vicinity of base stations report circulatory system problems, sleep disturbances, irritability, depression, blurred vision, concentration difficulties, nausea, lack of appetite, headache and vertigo.
