Electromagnetic environment created by mobile communication as a risk factor causing higher prevalence of circulatory diseases

Our research goal was to examine energy and time parameters of electromagnetic environment created by mobile communication terminals in Crimea and to detect a relationship between morbidity with diseases of the circulatory system (DCS) among people living in the republic due to electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic environment was determined as per energy flux density (EFD) at terminals, average daily electromagnetic exposure (ADEE) and individual electromagnetic burden (IEB). Correlation analysis of all the obtained data was performed to detect possible correlations with diseases of the circulatory system. Measurements of electromagnetic environment created by terminals in the region during a period from March 2019 to February 2020 (4,204 measurements at points where people used mobile communications intensely) yielded the following results: average EFD value amounted to 1.43 ± 0.04 µWt/cm2; IEB, 117.80 ± 6.55 (µWt/cm 2)·min; ADEE, 60.56 ± 1.15 min. Electromagnetic environment parameters and prevalence of the most common DCS in Crimea were statistically processed and the following authentic correlations were revealed: between overall morbidity with circulatory diseases and energy (EFD (Тau=0.399; p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
