Plain English Summary
Turkish researchers exposed rats to 1800 MHz cell phone radiation (the same frequency used by GSM networks) for 20 minutes daily over a month to test for DNA damage in bladder cells. They found no increase in micronuclei (cellular markers of genetic damage) compared to unexposed control rats. This suggests that short-term exposure to GSM radiation at these levels did not cause detectable genetic damage to bladder cells.
Study Details
In this study, we aimed to investigate if there is any effect of 1800 MHz GSM modulated radio frequency radiation (RFR) on the number of micronucleus in exfoliated bladder cells of rat which will be informative about the genotoxic damage.
Exposure period was 20 min/day, 5 days/week during a month. Six female Wistar rats were used for two...
1800 MHz RFR did not showed a significant MN frequencies in rat bladder cells when compared with the...
