Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed human brain cells (neurons, astrocytes, and microglia) to EDGE cell phone signals at 1800 MHz for 1 and 24 hours at high intensities up to 10 W/kg. They measured whether this radiofrequency exposure increased oxidative stress - a type of cellular damage linked to various health problems. The study found no increase in reactive oxygen species production, indicating the EDGE signals did not cause oxidative stress under these conditions.
Study Details
In this study we investigated the effect of the Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE) signal on cells of three human brain cell lines, SH-SY5Y, U87 and CHME5, used as models of neurons, astrocytes and microglia, respectively, as well as on primary cortical neuron cultures.

Our results are in agreement with earlier findings that RF radiation alone does not increase ROS production.
