View Original AbstractThis study found no genetic damage markers near cell towers, but lacks crucial exposure data needed to assess real-world safety.
Plain English Summary
Researchers examined blood samples from people living near cell phone towers to look for genetic damage markers (micronucleus frequency and chromosomal aberrations) that could indicate cancer risk. They found no statistically significant differences between people living near towers and control groups. The study concluded that cell phone base stations do not produce important cancer-causing genetic changes.
Study Details
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of mobile phone base stations on the micronucleus (MN) frequency and chromosomal aberrations on blood in people who were living around mobile phone base stations and healthy controls.
Frequency of MN and chromosomal aberrations in study and control groups was 8.96 +/- 3.51 and 6.97 +...
Our results show that there was not a significant difference of MN frequency and chromosomal aberrat...
The results claim that cellular phones and their base stations do not produce important carcinogenic changes.
