View Original AbstractCell phone frequencies at 0.6 W/kg didn't disrupt cell division in lab studies, but this addresses only one potential biological effect.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mouse and human cells to radiofrequency radiation at frequencies used by cell phones (835-847 MHz) for up to 100 hours to see if it affected how cells divide and grow. They found no changes in cell division patterns compared to unexposed cells. This suggests that RF radiation at these power levels doesn't disrupt normal cellular reproduction processes.
Study Details
The effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF EMFs) on cell cycle progression of mouse fibroblasts C3H 10T(1/2) and human glioma U87MG cells were determined by the flow cytometric bromodeoxyuridine pulse-chase method.
Cells were exposed to a frequency-modulated continuous wave at 835.62 MHz or a code division multipl...
The only significant change observed in the study was that associated with C3H 10T(1/2) cell culture...
The results show that exposure to RF EMFs, at the frequencies and power tested, does not have any effect on cell progression in vitro.
