View Original AbstractThis rigorous 18-month study found no cancer increase in mice exposed to cell phone-level radiation, contradicting earlier alarming findings.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed genetically modified mice to pulsed 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone signals) for 18 months to test whether it could cause cancer. Despite using exposure levels up to three times higher than a previous study that found increased lymphomas, this larger study found no increase in tumors or cancer at any of the tested exposure levels. This contradicts earlier research suggesting cell phone radiation might promote cancer development.
Study Details
To study the Carcinogenicity of 217 Hz pulsed 900 MHz electromagnetic fields in Pim1 transgenic mice
In an 18-month carcinogenicity study, Pim1 transgenic mice were exposed to pulsed 900 MHz (pulse wid...
The results of this study do not suggest any effect of 217 Hz-pulsed RF-radiation exposure (pulse wi...
Overall, the study shows no effect of RF radiation under the conditions used on the incidence of any neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesion, and thus the study does not provide evidence that RF radiation possesses carcinogenic potential.
