Plain English Summary
Italian researchers exposed neuroblastoma cells (a type of nerve cell) to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation at levels higher than occupational safety limits for up to 72 hours. They found no significant changes in cell growth, death, or differentiation processes. This suggests that even at elevated exposure levels, this type of cell phone radiation may not directly damage these particular nerve cells in laboratory conditions.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to examine whether a modulated radiofrequency of the type used in cellular phone communications at a specific absorption rate (SAR) higher than International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reference level for occupational exposure, could elicit alterations on proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis processes in a neuroblastoma cell line.
The cell line was exposed for 24, 48, and 72 h to 900 MHz radiofrequency and proliferation and diffe...
Overall our data suggest that 900 MHz radiofrequency exposure up to 72 h does not induce significant...
