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.
