View Original AbstractCell phone frequencies at four times legal exposure limits showed no oxidative stress in breast cells during 2-hour laboratory exposure.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human breast tissue cells to cell phone frequencies (837 MHz and 1950 MHz) at high power levels for 2 hours to test whether radiofrequency radiation causes oxidative stress, a type of cellular damage linked to disease. The study found no signs of oxidative stress in the cells, even when exposed to both frequencies simultaneously. This suggests that under these specific laboratory conditions, RF radiation did not trigger the cellular damage processes that scientists look for as early warning signs of health effects.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to determine whether the exposure to either single or multiple radio-frequency (RF) radiation frequencies could induce oxidative stress in cell cultures.
