Genetic damage in subjects exposed to radiofrequency radiation
Authors not listed · 2008
A review of human cytogenetic biomonitoring studies found most show increased genetic damage in RF-exposed individuals, but most, if not all, have shortcomings preventing firm conclusions.
Plain English Summary
The paper reviews cytogenetic biomonitoring studies of humans exposed to radiofrequency radiation. Most reviewed studies report increased frequencies of genetic damage such as chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes or buccal cells of exposed individuals. Radiation dosimetry was lacking in all papers, and some investigations had more severe flaws.
Why This Matters
The possible genetic effects of mobile phone radiation and other sources of radiofrequencies constitute one of the major points of concern. Large well-coordinated multidisciplinary investigations are needed in order to reach any robust conclusion.
