Cell phone radiation at levels up to five times the current safety limit caused no DNA damage in human blood cells during 28-hour exposure.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed human blood cells from 40 volunteers to cell phone radiation (1,800 MHz) for 28 hours at three different intensities and tested for DNA damage using multiple methods. The study found no evidence that the radiation caused genetic damage to the cells at any exposure level. This collaborative study across six independent laboratories used rigorous controls and blinded analysis to ensure reliable results.

Study Details

In the present study, a possible genotoxic effect of RF EMF (GSM, 1,800 MHz) in human lymphocytes was investigated by a collaboration of six independent institutes (institutes a, b, c, d, e, h).

Peripheral blood of 20 healthy, nonsmoking volunteers of two age groups (10 volunteers 16–20 years o...

It was ascertained that only outcomes with a significant SAR trend found by at least two of three an...

In conclusion, the results show no evidence of a genotoxic effect induced by RF EMF (GSM, 1,800 MHz).
