 A Critical Review of Epidemiologic Studies of Radiofrequency Exposure and Human Cancers
The associations suggested by the Sutton Coldfield study (with adult leukemia, skin melanoma, and bladder cancer) were tested by a new analysis based only on all the other transmitters, excluding Sutton Coldfield.
Results for individual transmitters showed significant declines in risk of adult leukemia with increasing distance for three transmitters; results from two of these transmitters showed that the risks at the edge of the 10-km circle were less than expected.
The Sutton Coldfield and UK studies (34,35) were based largely on assessing a measure of dose response, that is, a gradation of risk with distance of residence from the transmitter, and did not give consistent positive results for any cancer site.
