The proposed mechanisms of radio frequency waves (RFWs) on nervous system functions impairment

There is a general concern regarding the hazardous health effects of exposure to radiofrequency waves (RFWs) emitted from wireless communication devices. RFWs generated by base transceiver station (BTS) and/or mobile phone have been reported to generate deleterious effects on nervous system, possibly through the non-thermal effects and thermal effects. However, most studies have focused on the non-thermal effects of RFW. In this review, we will consider effects of radiofrequency waves on impairment of nervous system functions. Available data indicate that RFW of relatively low intensity (specific absorption rate (SAR)
