View Original AbstractTwo years of cell phone radiation exposure up to twice current safety limits showed no genetic damage in mice blood cells.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation (GSM and DCS signals) for 2 hours daily, 5 days a week for two years to test whether it damages DNA. They measured micronuclei (small DNA fragments that indicate genetic damage) in blood cells and found no difference between exposed and unexposed mice. This suggests that chronic exposure to these specific cell phone frequencies at the tested levels did not cause detectable genetic damage in this animal model.
Study Details
The aim of the present investigation was to determine the incidence of micronuclei in peripheral blood erythrocytes of B6C3F1 mice that had been chronically exposed to radiofrequencies (RF) used for mobile communication.
Ferris wheels' were used to expose tube-restrained male and female mice to simulated environmental R...
There were no significant differences in the frequency of micronuclei between RF-exposed, sham-expos...
In conclusion, the data did not indicate RF-induced genotoxicity in mice after two years of exposure.
