In recent years, by tremendous use of mobile phone telecommunication, a growing concern about the possible health hazards has increased greatly among public and scientists. The mobile phone exposure has been shown to have many effects upon the immune functions, stimulating hormones, mammalian brain, sperm motility and morphology, and neurological pathologies syndrome. The aim of this study was to find out the psychological and psychobiological reactions of the people who are living near mobile phone base transceiver stations (BTS) antenna, in Isfahan, Iran.
A cross-sectional study on 250 randomly selected inhabitants (133 women and 117 men) was performed in October 2012 till November 2012. The inhabitants were requested to complete a standardized questionnaire that focused on the relevant psychological and psychobiological reactions parameters. A computer program (SPSS version16.0, Chicago, IL) was used for statistical analysis using the Chi-square test with Yates correction. All the data were tested using a criterion level of p = 0.05.
The results showed that most of the symptoms such as nausea, headache, dizziness, irritability, discomfort, nervousness, depression, sleep disturbance, memory loss and lowering of libido were statistically significant in the inhabitants living near the BTS antenna (<300 m distances) compared to those living far from the BTS antenna (>300 m).
It is suggested that cellular phone BTS antenna should not be sited closer than 300 m to populations to minimize exposure of neighbors.
近年来,随着移动电话通信的大量使用,公众和科学家对其可能的健康危害的担忧大幅增加。移动电话辐射已被证明对免疫功能、刺激激素、哺乳动物大脑、精子活力和形态以及神经病理综合征有多种影响。本研究的目的是了解伊朗伊斯法罕居住在移动电话基站收发信机(BTS)天线附近的人群的心理和心理生物学反应。
2012年10月至2012年11月,对250名随机选取的居民(133名女性和117名男性)进行了横断面研究。要求居民填写一份标准化问卷,该问卷侧重于相关的心理和心理生物学反应参数。使用计算机程序(SPSS 16.0版,伊利诺伊州芝加哥)进行统计分析,采用经耶茨校正的卡方检验。所有数据均以p = 0.05的标准水平进行检验。
结果显示,与居住在距离BTS天线较远(>300米)的居民相比,居住在BTS天线附近(<300米距离)的居民出现的大多数症状,如恶心、头痛、头晕、易怒、不适、紧张、抑郁、睡眠障碍、记忆力减退和性欲降低,在统计学上具有显著差异。
建议移动电话BTS天线与人群的距离不应小于300米,以尽量减少对周边居民的辐射。
