View Original AbstractMicroscopic worms showed no biological effects from wireless device radiation at unspecified exposure levels below safety guidelines.
Plain English Summary
Greek researchers exposed microscopic worms (C. elegans) to radiation from cell phones, WiFi routers, and cordless phones at levels below international safety guidelines. They found no effects on the worms' lifespan, fertility, growth, memory, or cellular damage markers. The study suggests these worms are resilient to wireless device radiation under the tested conditions.
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.
