View Original AbstractBrief exposure to very low-level cell phone radiation showed minimal effects on skin cells, but real-world exposure patterns differ significantly.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human skin cells (keratinocytes) to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation similar to cell phone signals for 10 minutes at very low power levels. They found essentially no biological effects, with only 20 out of 47,000 genes showing minor changes that weren't confirmed in follow-up testing. This suggests that brief, low-level cell phone radiation exposure may not significantly affect skin cells in laboratory conditions.
Study Details
We exposed normal human epidermal keratinocytes to short duration, high frequency, and low amplitude electromagnetic fields, similar to that used by mobile phone technologies.
We paid particular attention to the control of the characteristics of the electromagnetic environmen...
Under these conditions, exposure of keratinocytes to the electromagnetic field had little effect; on...
In conclusion, the data presented here show that cultured keratinocytes are not significantly affected by EMF exposure.
