View Original AbstractHuman cells showed no genetic changes from cell phone-frequency radiation at levels up to 10 W/kg, well above typical phone use.
Plain English Summary
Canadian researchers exposed two types of human cells to 1.9 GHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone signals) for up to 24 hours at power levels ranging from very low to high. They found no changes in gene expression - meaning the RF exposure didn't turn genes on or off differently than unexposed cells. However, when they heated the same cells to 43°C (109°F) for comparison, multiple heat-shock genes activated as expected.
Study Details
We have now examined the effect of RF field exposure on the possible expression of late onset genes in U87MG cells after a 24 h RF exposure period.
In addition, a human monocyte-derived cell-line (Mono-Mac-6, MM6) was exposed to intermittent (5 min...
In support of our previous results, we found no evidence that nonthermal RF field exposure could alt...
