View Original AbstractHigh-intensity car phone radiation showed no genetic damage or synergistic cancer-promoting effects in human immune cells.
Plain English Summary
Belgian researchers exposed human immune cells (lymphocytes) to radiation from a 455.7 MHz car phone at high intensity levels (6.5 W/kg SAR) to see if it would cause genetic damage or make the cells more vulnerable to other cancer-causing agents. They found no evidence that the phone radiation caused chromosome damage on its own, nor did it increase the harmful effects when combined with known mutagens like chemicals or X-rays.
Study Details
To analyze Cytogenetic investigations on microwaves emitted by a 455.7 MHz car phone.
The chromosome aberration or sister chromatid exchange frequency was determined in 455.7 MHz microwa...
However, there was no consistency in the results. Combined treatments with X-rays did not provide an...
Our data therefore do not support the hypothesis that RF fields act synergistically with chemical or physical mutagens.
