View Original AbstractThis study found no reproductive harm from 3G radiation at 100 times typical human exposure levels in mice.
Plain English Summary
Japanese researchers exposed mouse eggs and sperm to 3G cell phone radiation at 2 watts per kilogram for one hour, then studied fertilization rates and early embryo development. They found no significant effects on fertilization success, embryo development, or chromosome damage across different exposure combinations. The researchers noted their exposure level was at least 100 times higher than typical daily human exposure to cell phone radiation.
Study Details
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 3rd-generation (3G) cellular phone radiofrequency-electromagnetic wave (RF-EMW) exposure on fertilization and embryogenesis in mice.
Oocytes and spermatozoa were exposed to 3G cellular phone RF-EMWs, 1.95 GHz wideband code division m...
Rates of fertilization, embryogenesis, and blastocyst formation did not change significantly across ...
