View Original AbstractShort-term ultra-wideband radiation exposure at low levels showed no genetic damage in mice, but longer-term effects remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to ultra-wideband electromagnetic radiation (a type of wireless signal) for 15 minutes and then examined their blood and bone marrow cells for signs of genetic damage. They found no evidence that the radiation caused DNA damage or other cellular harm compared to unexposed control mice. This suggests that short-term exposure to this specific type of electromagnetic radiation at the tested intensity may not pose immediate genetic risks.
Study Details
To investigate the extent of genetic damage in the peripheral blood and bone marrow cells of mice exposed to ultra-wideband electromagnetic radiation (UWBR).
CF-1 male mice were exposed to UWBR for 15 min at an estimated whole-body average specific absorptio...
The percentages of PCE and the incidence of MN per 2000 PCE in both tissues in mice killed at 18 h w...
Under the experimental conditions tested, there was no evidence for excess genotoxicity in peripheral blood or bone marrow cells of mice exposed to UWBR.
