Cytogenetic effects of 900 MHz (GSM) microwaves on human lymphocytes
Maes A, Collier M, Verschaeve L · 2001
View Original AbstractThis study found no chromosomal damage from 900 MHz cell phone radiation, but DNA breaks represent just one potential health pathway.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human immune cells (lymphocytes) to 900 MHz cell phone radiation at various power levels to see if it caused DNA damage or made cells more vulnerable to other harmful substances. They found no evidence that this type of radiofrequency radiation damaged chromosomes or increased genetic damage when combined with known cancer-causing chemicals or X-rays.
Study Details
To study the cytogenetic effects of 900 MHz (GSM) microwaves on human lymphocytes
The cytogenetic effects of 900 MHz radiofrequency fields were investigated with the chromosome aberr...
Overall, no indication was found of a mutagenic, and/or co-mutagenic/synergistic effect of this kind of nonionizing radiation.
