This study found no DNA damage to immune cells from cell phone frequencies, but lacks crucial exposure details.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed human immune cells (lymphocytes) to electromagnetic fields at frequencies used by cell phones and other wireless devices (380, 900, and 1800 MHz) to see if the radiation would damage the cells' DNA or disrupt their normal growth cycle. The study found no measurable differences between cells exposed to EMF and unexposed control cells. This suggests that these specific frequencies, under the conditions tested, did not cause detectable genetic damage or cellular disruption in immune cells.

Study Details
