The Effect of Continuous Low-Intensity Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from Radio Base Stations to Cancer Mortality in Brazil

Background: this study aims to estimate the rate of death by cancer as a result Radio Base Station (RBS) radiofrequency exposure, especially for breast, cervix, lung, and esophagus cancers. Methods: we collected information on number deaths cancer, gender, age group, gross domestic product per capita, year, amount exposure over lifetime. We investigated all types some specific (breast, cancers). Results: in capitals where RBS was higher than 2000/antennas-year, average mortality 112/100,000 The adjusted analysis showed that, radiofrequency, was. highest risk observed cervix (rate ratio = 2.18). spatial that city southern Brazil also specifically lung breast cancer. Conclusion: balance our results indicates electromagnetic fields from increases
