View Original AbstractThis study found no DNA damage from 900 MHz cell phone radiation, but genetic damage is only one potential pathway for EMF health effects.
Plain English Summary
Italian researchers exposed blood cells from 20 healthy people to 900 MHz cell phone radiation (the same frequency used by many mobile phones) to see if it would cause DNA damage. They tested various exposure patterns and intensities, including levels similar to what your phone produces during calls. The study found no significant DNA damage or changes in cell division, even after multiple exposure cycles.
Study Details
In the present study, we investigated the induction of genotoxic effects in human peripheral blood lymphocytes after exposure to electromagnetic fields used in mobile communication systems (frequency 900 MHz).
For this purpose, the incidence of micronuclei was evaluated by applying the cytokinesis-block micro...
No statistically significant differences were detected in any case in terms of either micronucleus f...
