Cell phone radiation at 0.8 W/kg showed no oxidative stress effects in immune cells after 20+ hours of exposure.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed mouse immune cells to cell phone radiation at 835-847 MHz for over 20 hours to test whether radiofrequency signals cause oxidative stress (cellular damage from harmful molecules). They found no evidence that either FMCW or CDMA modulated signals at 0.8 W/kg caused oxidative stress, cellular damage, or changes in the cells' natural antioxidant defenses. The study suggests that cell phone-type radiation at these levels does not trigger the cellular stress responses that can lead to health problems.

Study Details

The goal of this study was to determine whether radiofrequency (RF) radiation is capable of inducing oxidative stress or affecting the response to oxidative stress in cultured mammalian cells.

The two types of RF radiation investigated were frequency-modulated continuous-wave with a carrier f...

The results of these studies indicated that FMCW- and CDMA-modulated RF radiation did not alter para...
