View Original AbstractCell phone radiation at levels up to twice typical phone use didn't accelerate breast cancer development in this rat study.
Plain English Summary
Chinese researchers exposed 500 female rats to cell phone radiation (900 MHz GSM signals) for 4 hours daily over 26 weeks after giving them a chemical known to cause breast tumors. They tested different radiation levels, including some well above typical phone exposure. The study found no difference in breast cancer rates between exposed and unexposed rats - about one-third developed tumors regardless of radiation exposure.
Study Details
To investigate whether exposure to 900 MHz GSM wireless communication signals enhances mammary tumor development and growth induced by low dose dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA).
Five hundred female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were treated with a single dose of 35 mg/kg. DMBA and t...
The incidence of mammary carcinoma in sham-exposure group was 37% (37/100). And mammary carcinoma in...
This study does not provide the evidence that 900 MHz GSM microwave exposure might promote DMBA-induced mammary tumor development in rats.
