The Effects of 860 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation on the Induction or Promotion of Brain Tumors and Other Neoplasms in Rats.
Zook BC, Simmens SJ, · 2001
View Original AbstractThis comprehensive rat study found no increased brain tumor risk from 860 MHz radiation at phone-level exposures over nearly two years.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats to 860 MHz radiofrequency radiation for up to 22 months to see if it could cause or accelerate brain tumors. The study found no statistically significant increase in brain tumors or other cancers from the RF exposure, even when combined with a known cancer-causing chemical. This was a large, well-controlled study using 900 rats with extensive tissue analysis.
Study Details
The Effects of 860 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation on the Induction or Promotion of Brain Tumors and Other Neoplasms in Rats.
Sprague-Dawley rats were irradiated with a continuous- wave (CW) or a pulsed-wave (P) radiofrequency...
There was no statistically significant evidence that the PRF or CWRF induced neoplasia in any tissue...
No statistically significant differences were related to the PRF or CWRF compared to controls in the low- or zero-dose groups regarding tumors of any kind.
