ElektrosmogReport 3/2026: 12 new studies on bats, cancer promotion, and fetal harm

diagnose:funk's ElektrosmogReport 3/2026 digests 12 new peer-reviewed studies on biological effects of non-ionizing radiation. Two studies cover wildlife (bats, homing pigeons), two link cellphone use to tumor promotion, five examine 5G frequencies, four report effects on embryos and fertility, and one covers WLAN and the immune system. The editors argue the findings appear mostly in the non-thermal range, contrary to industry and regulatory claims.

Note: diagnose:funk is a German environmental and consumer advocacy organization focused on mobile communications and health. ElektrosmogReport is its quarterly research digest. Read about the long history of ElektrosmogReport as reported by Microwave News. Each issue can be read or downloaded as a PDF in German and English at emfdata.org.

"ElektrosmogReport 3/2026 discusses 12 new studies on the effects of electromagnetic fields. Two studies address effects on animals (bats, pigeons), two cover connections with cancer. Five studies examine the effects of 5G frequencies. Four studies demonstrate effects on the embryo and fertility, two of which used the WLAN frequency. One study examined the effects of WLAN on the immune system."

Zwei Studien behandeln die Auswirkungen auf Tiere (Fledermäuse, Tauben), zwei Studien Zusammenhänge mit Krebs. Fünf Studien untersuchen die Auswirkungen von 5G-Frequenzen. Vier Studien weisen Effekte auf das Embryo und die Fertilität nach, davon nutzten zwei Studien die WLAN-Frequenz. Eine Studie untersuchte die Auswirkungen von WLAN auf das Immunsystem."]

"The result: prenatal 5G exposure can damage kidneys and cause DNA damage. The authors see this as evidence that exposure during embryonic development can leave long-term changes."

[original: "Das Ergebnis: Pränatale 5G-Bestrahlung kann Nieren schädigen und zu DNA-Schäden führen. Die Autoren sehen darin Hinweise, dass eine Belastung während der Embryonalentwicklung langfristige Veränderungen hinterlassen kann."]

"Also in this ElektrosmogReport, the (harmful) effects shown in the research are, as a rule, in the non-thermal range."

[original: "Auch in diesem ElektrosmogReport sind die (schädlichen) Auswirkungen, die in den Forschungen aufgezeigt werden, in der Regel im nicht-thermischen Bereich."]
