Mobile phone use and brain tumour risk - COSMOS, a prospective cohort study.

Background: Each new generation of mobile phone technology has triggered discussions about potential carcinogenicity from exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). Available evidence has been insufficient to conclude about long-term and heavy mobile phone use, limited by differential recall and selection bias, or crude exposure assessment. The Cohort Study on Mobile Phones and Health (COSMOS) was specifically designed to overcome these shortcomings.

A review on methods for extracting and quantifying microplastic in biological tissues.

Literature about the occurrence of microplastic in biological tissues has increased over the last few years. This review aims to synthesis the evidence on the preparation of biological tissues, chemical identification of microplastic and accumulation in tissues. Several microplastic's extraction approaches from biological tissues emerged (i.

Land-cover, land-use and human hantavirus infection risk: a systematic review.

Previous studies suggest that the risk of human infection by hantavirus, a family of rodent-borne viruses, might be affected by different environmental determinants such as land cover, land use and land use change. This study examined the association between land-cover, land-use, land use change, and human hantavirus infection risk. PubMed and Scopus databases were interrogated using terms relative to land use (change) and human hantavirus disease.

The need for new metrics in the Anthropocene era.

A limitation in the discussion concerning climate change is the large degree of separation between scientific, economic, and technological approaches to tackle the crisis. This issue is most noticeable when considering the lack of metrics to measure the impact of different productive sectors on both the environment and the health of the population. The best-known attempt to measure these repercussions has been the introduction of the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings for bonds.

Long-term effect of mobile phone use on sleep quality: Results from the cohort study of mobile phone use and health (COSMOS).

Background: Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure (RF-EMF) from mobile phone use on sleep quality has mainly been investigated in cross-sectional studies. The few previous prospective cohort studies found no or inconsistent associations, but had limited statistical power and short follow-up. In this large prospective cohort study, our aim was to estimate the effect of RF-EMF from mobile phone use on different sleep outcomes.
