View Original AbstractThis study found no DNA damage in mice after 78 weeks of cell phone radiation exposure at human-relevant levels.
Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation for over a year to test whether it damages DNA by looking for micronuclei (broken chromosome fragments) in blood cells. They found no DNA damage from radiofrequency exposure at levels similar to what humans experience from mobile phones. This was true across different phone technologies (analog and digital), exposure durations (52-78 weeks), and mouse strains.
Study Details
The aim of the study was to investigate genotoxicity of long-term exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields by measuring micronuclei in erythrocytes. The blood samples were collected in two animal studies evaluating possible cocarcinogenic effects of RF fields.
In study A, female CBA/S mice were exposed for 78 weeks (1.5 h/d, 5 d/week) to either a continuous 9...
The results did not show any effects of RF fields on micronucleus frequency in polychromatic or norm...
