View Original AbstractThis study found no oxidative stress effects from cell phone-level RF radiation in immune cells during short exposures.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human immune cells (monocytes and lymphocytes) to cell phone radiation at 1,800 MHz for 30-45 minutes to see if it would trigger oxidative stress or cellular stress responses. They found no meaningful biological effects from the RF exposure, with any statistical differences appearing to be due to measurement variations rather than actual cellular damage.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate if 1,800 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) release and/or changes in heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) expression in human blood cells, using different exposure and co-exposure conditions.

The Hsp70 expression level after 0, 1, and 2 h post-exposure to GSM-DTX signal at 2 W/kg for 1 h did not show any differences compared to the incubator or to sham control.
