- The Naila Study -

The Naila Study, Germany (November 2004)
This study was conducted over a period of 10 years and was recently released by The Federal Agency for Radiation Protection, Germany. Medical doctors compiled case histories between 1994 – 2004 looking at heightened risk of being taken ill with malignant tumours. They discovered a threefold increase in cancers after five years exposure to microwave radiation from a mobile phone mast transmitter for up to 400 metres distance, compared to those patients living further away.

The Results

The result of the study shows that the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter site, which has been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living further away, and that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.

In the years 1999-2004, ie after five years’ operation of the transmitting installation, the relative risk of getting cancer had trebled for the residents of the area in the proximity of the installation compared to the inhabitants of Naila outside the area.
