Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed immune system cells (Molt-4 T lymphoblastoid cells) to cell phone radiation at various frequencies for up to 24 hours to test whether it causes DNA damage or triggers cell death. They found no statistically significant DNA damage or cell death compared to unexposed cells across all tested frequencies and modulation types. This suggests that cell phone radiation at these exposure levels may not directly harm cellular DNA or kill immune cells in laboratory conditions.
Study Details
To determine whether exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation can induce DNA damage or apoptosis
Molt-4 T lymphoblastoid cells were exposed with RF fields at frequencies and modulations of the type...
No statistically significant difference in the level of DNA damage or apoptosis was observed between...
Our results show that exposure of Molt-4 cells to CDMA, FDMA, iDEN or TDMA modulated RF radiation does not induce alterations in level of DNA damage or induce apoptosis.
