Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed human brain cells to cell phone radiation at 900 MHz for 24 hours to see if it would trigger cell death (apoptosis). They tested two exposure levels - one mimicking typical phone use and another eight times higher. The study found no increase in brain cell death at either exposure level, suggesting that 24-hour exposure to cell phone radiation does not kill these particular brain cells.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to investigate microwave (MW) effects on neuronal apoptosis in vitro.
Human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y were exposed to a 900 MHz global system for mobile communication (...
No statistically significant difference in the apoptosis rate was observed between sham and 24 h MW-...
These results showed that, under the conditions of the present experiment, MW-exposure (either CW or GSM-900) does not significantly increase the apoptosis rate in the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y.
