View Original AbstractHuman skin cells showed no DNA damage from 24-hour exposure to cell phone-level radiation at 1 W/kg.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human skin cells to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone signals) for 24 hours at 1 W/kg to test for DNA damage. They found no genetic damage from the RF exposure alone, even when testing cells from people with Turner's syndrome who may be more sensitive. The radiation also didn't make cells more vulnerable to damage from a known water contaminant.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to investigate DNA damage in human dermal fibroblasts from a healthy subject and from a subject affected by Turner's syndrome that were exposed for 24 h to radiofrequency (RF) radiation at 900 MHz.
The RF-radiation exposure was carried out alone or in combination with 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5...
The results revealed no genotoxic and cytotoxic effects from RF radiation alone in either cell line....
