this study aims to estimate the rate of death by cancer as a result of Radio Base Station (RBS) radiofrequency exposure, especially for breast, cervix, lung, and esophagus cancers.
we collected information on the number of deaths by cancer, gender, age group, gross domestic product per capita, death year, and the amount of exposure over a lifetime. We investigated all cancer types and some specific types (breast, cervix, lung, and esophagus cancers).
in capitals where RBS radiofrequency exposure was higher than 2000/antennas-year, the average mortality rate was 112/100,000 for all cancers. The adjusted analysis showed that, the higher the exposure to RBS radiofrequency, the higher cancer mortality was. The highest adjusted risk was observed for cervix cancer (rate ratio = 2.18). The spatial analysis showed that the highest RBS radiofrequency exposure was observed in a city in southern Brazil that also showed the highest mortality rate for all types of cancer and specifically for lung and breast cancer.
the balance of our results indicates that exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from RBS increases the rate of death for all types of cancer.
本研究旨在估计因无线电基站(RBS)射频暴露而导致的癌症死亡率,特别是乳腺癌、宫颈癌、肺癌和食管癌。
我们收集了癌症死亡人数、性别、年龄组、人均国内生产总值、死亡年份以及一生中的暴露量等信息。我们调查了所有癌症类型和一些特定类型(乳腺癌、宫颈癌、肺癌和食管癌)。
在 RBS 射频暴露量高于 2000/天线年的首府城市,所有癌症的平均死亡率为 112/10 万。调整分析表明,RBS 射频暴露越高,癌症死亡率越高。宫颈癌的调整风险最高(率比=2.18)。空间分析显示,在巴西南部的一个城市观察到了最高的 RBS 射频暴露量,该城市也观察到了所有类型癌症的最高死亡率,特别是肺癌和乳腺癌。
我们研究结果的平衡表明,RBS 射频电磁辐射的暴露会增加所有类型癌症的死亡率。
