View Original AbstractHuman blood cells showed no DNA damage after 90 minutes of microwave radiation exposure at levels higher than typical cell phone use.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human blood cells to microwave radiation at 2450 MHz (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and WiFi) for 90 minutes to see if it would damage DNA or affect cell growth. They found no genetic damage, chromosome breaks, or changes in how fast the cells multiplied compared to unexposed cells. This suggests that short-term exposure to this type of radiation at these power levels may not immediately harm human blood cells.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Proliferation and cytogenetic studies in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to 2450 MHz radiofrequency radiation.
Aliquots of human peripheral blood collected from two healthy human volunteers were exposed in vitro...
There were no significant differences between RFR-exposed and sham-exposed lymphocytes with respect ...
Thus, there is no evidence for an effect on mitogen-stimulated proliferation kinetics or for excess genotoxicity within 72 h in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to 2450 MHz RFR.
