DNA & Genetic DamageNo Effects Found

Proflavin and microwave radiation: absence of a mutagenic interaction.

Meltz ML, Eagan P, Erwin DN · 1990

Researchers exposed mouse leukemic cells to 2.45-GHz microwave radiation (the same frequency as microwave ovens) at high power levels while simultaneously treating them with proflavin, a DNA-damaging drug. They found no evidence that the microwave radiation enhanced the drug's ability to cause genetic mutations, nor did the radiation alone cause any DNA damage. This suggests that microwave radiation at these levels does not interact with chemical mutagens to worsen genetic damage.

DNA & Genetic Damage

The effect of microwave radiation on the cell genome

Garaj-Vrhovac V, Horvat D, Koren Z · 1990

Researchers exposed hamster cells to microwave radiation at 7.7 GHz for up to one hour and found significant DNA damage. The radiation prevented cells from properly replicating their DNA and caused chromosome abnormalities. While the cells recovered their normal DNA synthesis within one generation, the structural damage to DNA molecules persisted.

Effect of radiofrequency radiation on mRNA expression in cultured rodent cells.

Parker JE, Kiel JL, Winters WD · 1988

Researchers exposed four types of rodent cells to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (the same frequency as microwave ovens) at very high power levels to see if it would change how genes are expressed. They found no significant differences in gene activity between exposed and unexposed cells, even when testing genes related to cancer development and cellular stress responses.

FAQs: 5G / Cell Towers EMF Research

Of 1,404 peer-reviewed studies examining 5g / cell towers electromagnetic radiation, 74% found measurable biological effects. These studies span decades of research conducted by scientists worldwide and include both laboratory experiments and epidemiological studies examining the health effects of 5g / cell towers radiation exposure.
The BioInitiative Report database includes 1,404 peer-reviewed studies specifically examining 5g / cell towers electromagnetic radiation and its potential health effects. These studies have been conducted by researchers worldwide and published in scientific journals. The research examines various biological endpoints including cellular effects, neurological impacts, reproductive health, and other health outcomes.
74% of the 1,404 studies examining 5g / cell towers electromagnetic radiation found measurable biological effects. This means that 1039 studies documented observable changes when organisms were exposed to 5g / cell towers EMF. The remaining studies either found no significant effects or had inconclusive results.
