View Original AbstractHuman blood cells showed no DNA damage after 24-hour exposure to cell phone-type radiation at levels five times higher than phone limits.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human white blood cells to 1.9 GHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to what cell phones emit) for 24 hours at power levels up to 10 watts per kilogram. They found no DNA damage or genetic changes in the cells, even after this extended exposure period at levels much higher than typical phone use.
Study Details
To analyze no Evidence for Genotoxic Effects from 24 h Exposure of Human Leukocytes to 1.9 GHz Radiofrequency Fields
The current study extends our previous investigations of 2-h radiofrequency (RF)-field exposures on ...
No significant differences in primary DNA damage were observed between the sham-treated controls and...
. In conclusion, the current study found no evidence of 1.9 GHz RF-field-induced genotoxicity in human blood cell cultures after a 24-h exposure period.
