View Original AbstractEMF exposure at cell phone levels caused a temporary stress hormone spike, suggesting the body recognizes EMF as a biological stressor.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed healthy volunteers to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields (similar to older cell phones) while they slept and measured hormone levels throughout the night. They found a small, temporary increase in cortisol (stress hormone) right after exposure began, but no effects on growth hormone, reproductive hormones, or melatonin. The study suggests our bodies may quickly adapt to this type of EMF exposure.

The results indicate that weak high-frequency electromagnetic fields have no effects on nocturnal hormone secretion except for a slight elevation in cortisol production which is transient, pointing to an adaptation of the organism to the stimulus.
