Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers exposed mice to both X-rays (to initiate cancer) and mobile phone radiation for 78 weeks to see if RF radiation would promote tumor growth. The study tested two types of phone signals - continuous NMT at 1.5 W/kg SAR and pulsed GSM at 0.35 W/kg SAR. Neither type of mobile phone radiation increased cancer rates compared to control groups, suggesting RF radiation does not act as a tumor promoter in this animal model.
Study Details
In the current study, we evaluated the effect of low-level RF radiation on the development of cancer initiated in mice by ionizing radiation.
Two hundred female CBA/S mice were randomized into four equal groups at the age of 3 to 5 weeks. The...
The RF-radiation exposures did not increase the incidence of any neoplastic lesion significantly.
We conclude that the results do not provide evidence for cancer promotion by RF radiation emitted by mobile phones.
