Base station radiation up to 800 mW/kg didn't cause cancer-like cell changes in this lab study.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed mouse cells to radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone base stations for six weeks to see if it would cause cancerous changes. Even at high exposure levels (800 mW/kg), the radiation did not increase the rate of cell transformation into cancer cells. This suggests that base station radiation at these levels doesn't directly promote tumor formation in laboratory conditions.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to investigate Mobile phone base station radiation does not affect neoplastic transformation in BALB/3T3 cells

In the current study, BALB/3T3 cells were continuously exposed to 2.1425 GHz W-CDMA RF fields at spe...

No significant differences in transformation frequency were observed between the test groups exposed...

Our results suggest that exposure to low-level RF radiation of up to 800 mW/kg does not induce cell transformation, which causes tumor formation.
