View Original AbstractCell phone radiation at 847.74 MHz showed no direct DNA damage in blood cells at high exposure levels over 24 hours.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human blood cells to cell phone radiation at 847.74 MHz for 24 hours to see if it would damage DNA or cause chromosome breaks. They found no significant genetic damage compared to unexposed cells, even at high exposure levels (4.9-5.5 W/kg SAR). This suggests that this particular frequency and exposure duration may not directly harm cellular DNA.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Chromosome damage and micronucleus formation in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to radiofrequency radiation at a cellular telephone frequency (847.74 MHz, CDMA).
Peripheral blood samples collected from four healthy nonsmoking human volunteers were diluted with t...
The data indicated no significant differences between RF-radiation-exposed and sham-exposed lymphocy...
Thus there was no evidence for induction of chromosome aberrations and micronuclei in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro for 24 h to 847.74 MHz RF radiation (CDMA) at SARs of 4.9 or 5.5 W/kg.
