Cell phone-level RF exposure showed no inflammatory effects in people with atopic dermatitis, a condition that makes skin hypersensitive.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Swedish researchers exposed 15 people with atopic dermatitis (a chronic skin condition causing inflammation and itching) to 30 minutes of cell phone-like radiofrequency radiation at 1 W/kg and measured blood markers of inflammation and stress. They found no changes in any of the measured substances compared to sham exposure, suggesting that RF exposure at typical cell phone levels does not trigger inflammatory responses in people with this sensitive skin condition.

Study Details

This study investigates the effect of exposure to a mobile phone-like radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field on people with atopic dermatitis (AD)

Fifteen subjects with AD were recruited and matched with 15 controls without AD. The subjects were e...

No significant differences between the subject groups were found for baseline neurophysiological dat...

The result of the study does not support the hypothesis of an effect of mobile phone-like RF exposure on serum levels of SP, TNF R1, and BDNF in persons with AD.
