摘要
The biological effects of the microwave radiation and cellular radio systems on the human body are investigated. The links between the exposure of human cells to cell phones are presented. No relation between the cellular phone use and brain tumor is predicted by the results of the recent epidemiological studies. The effects of the microwave radiation on the blood-brain barrier (BBB), an anatomic/physiologic complex associated with the cerebral vascular system, are analyzed.
