Title: Wireless technology is an environmental stressor requiring new understanding and approaches in health care

Authors: Julie E McCredden; Naomi Cook; Steven Weller; Victor Leach

Author: McCredden et al.

Date: 2022-12-20

Kind: Narrative review

Why: For health professionals, a scattered literature can be hard to connect with questions raised by patients.

Scope: An ORSAA-database-informed review and discussion of biological-effect categories, proposed mechanisms and implications for healthcare practice.

Summary: McCredden and colleagues connect cellular stress and other reported biological responses with questions about chronic wireless exposure, arguing that healthcare education should give the topic more attention.

Limitations: The database and paper are selectively assembled; proportions of positive findings are not pooled risk estimates. Proposed clinical implications do not establish causation for an individual’s symptoms or validate a diagnostic or treatment method.

Topics: Cell stress; Healthcare; Exposure standards

Exposures: Radiofrequency; Mobile telephony; Wi-Fi
