View Original AbstractRat bone marrow showed no DNA damage from cell phone radiation at safety-limit levels in this controlled lab study.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rat bone marrow to cell phone-type radiation at 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies to test for DNA damage and changes in blood cell production. They found no significant effects on genetic damage or cell growth at radiation levels of 2-2.5 watts per kilogram, which are similar to current safety limits. This study suggests that short-term exposure to these specific radiation levels may not cause immediate DNA damage in blood-forming cells.
Study Details
In this paper we extend the scope of the previous study by testing for possible effects at: (i) different SAR levels; (ii) both 900 and 1800 MHz, and; (iii) both CW and pulse modulated (PM) RFR.
Excised long bones from rats were placed in medium and RFR exposed in (i) a Transverse Electromagnet...
Our data did not indicate any significant change in these end points for any combination of CW/PM ex...
No significant changes were observed in the hematopoietic system of rats after the exposure of CW/PM wave 900 MHz/1800 MHz RF radiations at different SAR values.
