Mouse cells showed no chromosomal damage from 2.45 GHz radiation at levels 50 times higher than cell phone safety limits.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Japanese researchers exposed mouse cells to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and WiFi) for 2 hours at extremely high power levels up to 100 watts per kilogram. They found no chromosomal damage or genetic changes in the cells, even at these intense exposure levels that far exceed what humans typically experience from wireless devices.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to Investigate Effect of high-frequency electromagnetic fields with a wide range of SARs on chromosomal aberrations in murine m5S cells.

To investigate the induction of chromosomal aberrations in mouse m5S cells after exposure to high-fr...

No significant differences were observed following exposure to HFEMFs at SARs from 5 to 100 W/kg CW ...

In summary, HFEMF exposures at 2.45 GHz for 2 h with up to 100 W/kg SAR CW and an average 100 W/kg PW (a maximum SAR of 900 W/kg) do not induce chromosomal aberrations in m5S cells. Furthermore, there was no difference between exposures to CW and PW HFEMFs.
