View Original AbstractThis study found no DNA damage in blood cells exposed to cell phone radiation, but lab results don't always predict real-world biological effects.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human blood cells to cell phone radiation at 835.62 MHz for 24 hours to see if it caused DNA damage. They found no increase in chromosomal breaks or other genetic damage markers compared to unexposed cells, even at high exposure levels. This suggests that this specific type of cell phone radiation may not directly damage DNA in blood cells under laboratory conditions.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Cytogenetic Studies in Human Blood Lymphocytes Exposed In Vitro to Radiofrequency Radiation at a Cellular Telephone Frequency (835.62 MHz, FDMA).
Freshly collected peripheral blood samples from four healthy human volunteers were diluted with RPMI...
The data indicated no significant differences between RF-radiation- and sham-exposed lymphocytes wit...
Thus, under the experimental conditions tested, there is no evidence for the induction of chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro for 24 h to 835.62 MHz RF radiation at SARs of 4.4 or 5.0 W/kg.
