View Original AbstractTwo years of cell phone-level RF radiation exposure did not increase cancer risk in rats, even when combined with known carcinogens.
Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers exposed female rats to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone frequencies) for 2 hours daily over 2 years while also giving them a known cancer-causing chemical in their drinking water. The study aimed to see if RF radiation would make tumors more likely to develop. The researchers found no evidence that RF radiation increased cancer risk, even when combined with a chemical known to cause tumors.
Study Details
This study evaluated possible effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation on tumorigenesis induced by the mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (MX) given in drinking water.
Female Wistar rats aged 7 weeks at the beginning of the experiments were randomly divided into four ...
The tumor types and incidences observed in the MX-exposed animals were similar to those reported ear...
The results of the present study do not support co-carcinogenic effects of low-level long-term RF-radiation exposure in rats.
