No effect of short-term exposure to GSM-modulated low-power microwaves on benzo(a)pyrene-induced tumours in rat.

View Original AbstractTwo weeks of GSM radiation exposure showed no effect on chemically-induced tumors in rats at human safety limit levels.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats with chemically-induced tumors to GSM cell phone radiation (900 MHz) for 2 hours daily over 2 weeks to see if the radiation would accelerate cancer development. The study found no effect - the microwave exposure neither sped up nor delayed tumor growth, and didn't affect animal survival rates. The exposure levels used were within current safety limits for human whole-body exposure.
Study Details
In view of current interest in the biological effects of amplitude-modulated microwaves arising from the rapid development of mobile communications, the effects of low-level microwaves on cancer development were investigated using a rat sarcoma model.
Two-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated by injection of benzo(a)pyrene and irradiated ...

Low-level GSM microwave exposure of rat bearing benzo(a)pyrene-induced tumours had no effect on auto-antibody levels, tumour appearance and survival. The low exposure levels used here correspond to exposure limits for whole-body exposure of human
