View Original AbstractMicroscopic worms showed no harm from cell phone and Wi-Fi radiation at regulatory-approved levels, but human biology differs significantly.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed microscopic worms (C. elegans) to radiation from cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, and cordless phones at levels below international safety guidelines. They measured multiple biological effects including lifespan, fertility, growth, memory, and cellular damage markers. No harmful effects were found in any of the tested areas.
Study Details
To examine the impact of electromagnetic radiation, produced by GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) mobile phones, Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity) routers and wireless DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) phones, on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
We exposed synchronized populations, of different developmental stages, to these wireless devices at...
No statistically significant differences were found between the exposed and the sham/control animals...
The worm appears to be robust to this form of (pulsed) radiation, at least under the exposure conditions used.
