View Original AbstractHuman blood cells showed no DNA damage after 2-hour exposure to 2450 MHz radiation at cell phone-level intensity.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human blood cells to microwave radiation at 2450 MHz (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and some WiFi devices) for 2 hours to see if it would damage DNA. They found no evidence of DNA breaks or damage in the cells, even when they checked again 4 hours later to see if the cells could repair any potential damage. This suggests that this specific type and level of radiofrequency exposure may not cause immediate DNA harm.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to observe Primary DNA Damage in Human Blood Lymphocytes Exposed In Vitro to 2450 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation.
Human peripheral blood samples collected from three healthy human volunteers were exposed in vitro t...
At either time, the data indicated no significant differences between RF-radiation- and sham-exposed...
Thus, under the experimental conditions tested, there is no evidence for induction of DNA single-strand breaks and alkali-labile lesions in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to pulsed-wave 2450 MHz radiofrequency radiation, either immediately or at 4 h after exposure.
