Introduction. We evaluated the congenital malformation rate in the progeny of the personnel of the Salto di Quirra military base in Sardinia. Methods. During 2011, we gathered questionnaire information on the reproductive history of 389 employees, more then 99% of those eligible for routine health surveillance. Results. the observed congenital malformation rate (20.1 x 10-3, 95% CI 6.3 - 33.8) was lower than that reported by the Italian Registries of Congenital Malformations, and it did not vary by exposure to radiofrequency, elf electromagnetic fields, and solvents, and by jobs associated with alleged exposure to nanoparticles or αradiation.
