View Original AbstractMobile phone radiation showed no immediate effects on mouse retinal cells at levels up to 20 W/kg, but long-term vision impacts remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
German researchers exposed isolated mouse retina cells to mobile phone radiation (GSM-900, GSM-1800, and UMTS) at various power levels while carefully controlling temperature. They found no changes in how these vision-critical cells responded to light stimuli, even at radiation levels 10 times higher than typical phone use. This suggests mobile phone radiation doesn't directly interfere with retinal function under controlled laboratory conditions.
Study Details
Possible non-thermal effects of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on retinal ganglion cells were studied in vitro under conditions of constant temperature.
Isolated mouse retinae were exposed to GSM-900, GSM-1800, and universal mobile telecommunication sys...
Some changes already occurred during sham (0 W/kg) exposure, reflecting the intrinsic variability in...
From these results we conclude that RF-EMF exposure at three mobile phone frequencies (GSM-900, GSM-1800, UMTS) and SARs up to 20 W/kg has no acute effects on retinal ganglion cell responses under constant temperature conditions.
