View Original AbstractCell phone radiation at regulatory levels showed no skin damage in rats after 12 weeks of daily exposure.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed hairless rats to cell phone radiation (GSM-900 and GSM-1800 signals) for 2 hours daily over 12 weeks to study effects on skin health. They found no significant changes in skin thickness, cell growth patterns, or key structural proteins compared to unexposed rats. This suggests that chronic exposure to these specific cell phone frequencies at the tested levels did not cause detectable skin damage in this animal model.
Study Details
The purpose of this work was to determine whether the cellular components of Hairless-rat skin are affected by a chronic local exposure to non-ionizing radiations of Global Mobile Phone System: GSM-900 or -1800 radiations at specific absorption rate (SAR) 2.5 and 5 W/kg.
A selected part of the right back of five-week old female hairless rats was exposed or sham exposed ...
Analyses of skin sections using hematoxylin eosin saffron (HES) coloration showed no significant dif...
The results of this 12-week chronic study do not demonstrate major histological variations in the skin of hairless rats exposed to RFR used in mobile telephony (GSM-900 or -1800).
