View Original AbstractFour-generation mouse study found no reproductive harm from continuous cell phone radiation exposure at levels exceeding typical human use.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation (UMTS signals at 1966 MHz) continuously for their entire lives across four generations to study effects on reproduction and development. They found no harmful effects on fertility, pup development, or reproductive health, even at exposure levels up to 1.3 W/kg SAR. The only minor finding was some changes in food consumption patterns without a clear dose-response relationship.
Study Details
To study the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (UMTS) on reproduction and development of mice
Male and female mice (C57BL) were chronically exposed (life-long, 24 h/day) to mobile phone communic...
The results show no harmful effects of exposure on the fertility and development of the animals. The...
In summary, the results of this study do not indicate harmful effects of long-term exposure of mice to UMTS over several generations.
