Cell phone radiation caused measurable skin resistance changes in teenagers and men, even when vital signs remained normal.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed 42 volunteers (21 teenagers and 21 adults) to radio frequency radiation from CDMA cell phones for 30 minutes while measuring vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. The study found no changes in these cardiovascular measures, though skin resistance decreased temporarily in teenagers and males during exposure. This suggests that short-term cell phone use doesn't immediately affect basic vital signs, though the skin resistance change indicates the body does respond to the radiation in measurable ways.

Study Details

To study the effects of RF exposure of teenagers and adults by CDMA cellular phones.

In this study, two volunteer groups consisting of 21 teenagers and 21 adults were exposed to 300 mW...

All the parameters for both groups were unaffected during the exposure except for decreased skin res...
