Summary
Following the call by Wolfram Kvnig, President of the Bundesamt f|r
Strahlenschutz (Federal Agency for radiation protection), to all doctors
of medicine to collaborate actively in the assessment of the risk posed by
cellular radiation, the aim of our study was to examine whether people living
close to cellular transmitter antennas were exposed to a heightened risk of
taking ill with malignant tumors.
The basis of the data used for the survey were PC files of the case histories
of patients between the years 1994 and 2004. While adhering to data protection,
the personal data of almost 1.000 patients were evaluated for this study,
which was completed without any external financial support. It is intended
to continue the project in the form of a register.
The result of the study shows that the proportion of newly developing cancer
cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the
past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter
site, which bas been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living
further away, and that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.
In the years 1999-2004, i.e. after five years operation of the transmitting
installation, the relative risk of getting cancer had trebled for the residents
of the area in the proximity of the installation compared to the inhabitants of
Naila outside the area.
Key words: cellular radiation, cellular transmitter antennas, malignant
tumors
