View Original AbstractChronic cell phone radiation exposure at levels 4 times higher than current limits showed no brain tissue damage in mice.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to cell phone radiation at 849 MHz and 1763 MHz frequencies for up to 12 months, using radiation levels about 4 times higher than current safety limits. They found no changes in brain cell death, cell growth, or tissue damage compared to unexposed mice. This suggests that chronic exposure to these specific frequencies at high levels may not cause detectable brain tissue changes in mice.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Local exposure of 849 MHz and 1763 MHz radiofrequency radiation to mouse heads does not induce cell death or cell proliferation in brain.
We established a carousel-type exposure chamber for 849 MHz or 1763 MHz of mobile phone RF radiation...
During this period, the body weights of 3 groups-sham, 849 MHz RF, and 1763 MHz RF-did not show any ...
From these data, we conclude that the chronic exposure to 849 MHz and 1763 MHz RF radiation at a 7.8 W/kg specific absorption rate (SAR) could not induce cellular alterations such as proliferation, death, and reactive gliosis.
