Cytogenetic investigation of subjects professionally exposed to radiofrequency radiation.

View Original AbstractWorkers exposed to mobile phone RF radiation showed no genetic damage in blood cells, though missing exposure data limits the study's broader implications.
Plain English Summary
Researchers examined white blood cells from people professionally exposed to mobile phone radiofrequency radiation to see if this exposure caused genetic damage. Using three different tests that look for DNA breaks and chromosome abnormalities, they found no evidence that RF exposure harmed the genetic material in these workers' cells. The study also tested whether RF exposure might make cells more vulnerable to a known cancer-causing chemical, but found no such interaction.
