Résumé
Abstract

La plupart des études cliniques avec des champs radiofréquences (RF) ont porté sur les effets dʼexpositions caractéristiques des téléphones portables, habituellement au niveau de la tête, sur un certain nombre de fonctions physiologiques comprenant le sommeil, lʼactivité électrique du cerveau (EEG), la cognition, la vascularisation cérébrale et, plus généralement, les systèmes cardiovasculaire et endocrinien. La majorité des études a été effectuée chez des adultes en bonne santé. Lʼeffet décrit sur lʼamplitude des ondes alpha de lʼEEG, notamment pendant le sommeil, semble reproductible. Il semble cependant important de préciser si et comment lʼabsence dʼinterférence entre lʼexposition RF et lʼenregistrement est vérifiée. Il ne se dégage pas de consensus sur des effets cognitifs. Quelques effets décrits sur la vascularisation cérébrale nécessitent des études complémentaires.

Most of clinical studies on radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF) were directed at mobile phone-related exposures, usually at the level of the head, at their effect on some physiological functions including sleep, brain electrical activity (EEG), cognitive processes, brain vascularisation, and more generally on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. They were frequently carried out on healthy adults. Effects on the amplitude of EEG alpha waves, mainly during sleep, look reproducible. It would however be important to define more precisely whether and how the absence of electromagnetic disturbance between RF exposure and the recording systems is checked. No consensus arises about cognitive effects. Some effects on cerebral vascularisation need complementary work.
