Years of exposure to HAWK-radar equipment to Belgian military occupation has a significantly higher mortality from cancer than in a comparable control group. Update September 1, 2010

September 1, 2010: We had this message last year but now placed in the archives shows that yet again highly topical.

Years of exposure to HAWK-radar equipment to Belgian military occupation has a significantly higher mortality from cancer than in a comparable control group. In particular, more deceased soldiers to lymphoma and leukemia and bone cancer is unclear, according to the researchers whether this is due to the electromagnetic radiation from the radar equipment itself or by the ionizing effects of X-rays.

The study was examined by Belgian professional soldiers who for years worked in near-HAWK radar specific causes of death were more common than usual in comparable groups of professional soldiers. The study lasted van1968 and 2004 and during that time and was analyzed to determine which professional soldiers are deceased. Of the 4417 soldiers who worked in radar battalions HAWK-424 are deceased. Of a control group of 2932 soldiers who worked at other stations but in the same region and not near HAWK radar installations, 271 are deceased.

Quote of the knowledge platform defense that worked on this study: It is important to mention that HAWK radars are not the same as the radar systems used in civil aviation and shipping. For example, the HAWK air defense system investigated using other, stronger radar signals. With the HAWK radar is also a short distance for x-rays, resulting in the part that generates the radar signals. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation. That is, X-rays can cause DNA damage, which eventually cancer may arise. The link between exposure to ionizing radiation and the risk of developing cancer has been scientifically proven.

Concerns Have Been Raised About the Safety of the electromagnetic (microwave) émissions or radars, as well as about the Ionising Radiation That is on short emitted Distances (<2 m) by the radar devices in Producing the microwaves. We retrospectively Compared the Cause specify mortality or 4417 Belgian professional male military personnel who served in anti-aircraft radar units in Germany between 1963 and 1994 to the cause specified mortality or 2932 Belgian military personnel who served at the sametime in the same place in the battalions not Equipped with radars.
Mean follow-up was 26 years in the two groups. Age-adjusted rate ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals derived from a Poisson regression Were model. Four hundred twenty-four deaths in the battalions groups and 271 deaths occurred in the control battalions (RR = 1.04 (0.96-1.14)). Causes of deaths for specified, Were RRs 1.22 (1.03-1.47) for neoplasms and 3.51 (1.19-10.3) for Symptoms, signs and ill defined conditions. RRs for Other Causes of Death Were not differentiate significantly from 1.00. Among deaths from neoplasms, RR for cancer was hemolymphatic 7.22 (1.09-47.9). RRs for Other Causes of cancer deaths Were not differentiate significantly from 1.00. The results for specification Were all tumor types based on very small numbers. The RR for cancer with Decreasing Increased age and Suggested That the RR for Cancer Increased With The duration of stay in radar battalions. In conclusion, exposure or professional military personnel to anti-aircraft radars That existed in Western Europe from the 1960s Until the 1990s resulted in an increasefontsize May possessions in the incidence of cancers hemolymphatic. It Remains to Be Established whether this is due to increasefontsize microwaves generated by radars or ionizing Radiation Producing Electronic Devices Produced by the microwaves.
