View Original AbstractNo DNA damage found in rat bladder cells after month-long cell phone frequency exposure, but limited to single tissue type.
Plain English Summary
Turkish researchers exposed rats to cell phone frequencies (1800 and 2100 MHz) for 30 minutes daily over one to two months, then examined their bladder cells for micronuclei-tiny fragments that indicate DNA damage. The study found no significant increase in these genetic damage markers compared to unexposed control rats, suggesting the RF radiation did not cause detectable DNA damage in bladder tissue at the tested exposure levels.
Study Details
In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of 1800 and 2100 MHz Radio Frequency (RF) radiation on the number of micronucleus (MN) in exfoliated bladder cells of rat which shows the genotoxic damage.
Exposure period was 30 min/day, 6 days/week for a month and two months exposure periods. Thirty male...
1800 and 2100 MHz RF exposures did not result in any significant MN frequencies in rat bladder cells...
Further studies are needed to demonstrate if there is any genotoxic effect, micronucleus formation in other tissues of rats.
