View Original AbstractRF radiation at cell phone levels failed to trigger cellular stress responses in human immune cells, unlike air pollution particles which caused significant oxidative damage.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human immune cells to radiofrequency radiation at cell phone levels (2 W/kg SAR) and ultrafine air pollution particles to see if they would trigger cellular stress responses. They found that while the particles caused significant oxidative stress and free radical production, the RF radiation alone showed no measurable effects on stress proteins or free radical levels, even when combined with the particles.
Study Details
The aim of the present study was to investigate Hsp70 expression and free radical release after exposure to non-thermal radio-frequency electromagnetic fields and ultrafine particles in human Mono Mac 6 cells
we investigate if exposure to UFP (12-14 nm, 100 microg/ml) and RF-electromagnetic fields (EMF; 2 W/...
Our results clearly show that Mono Mac 6 cells are capable to internalise UFP, and that this phagocy...
Therefore, we conclude that in the investigated Mono Mac 6 cells, RF exposure alone or in combination with UFP cannot influence stress-related responses.
