DNA & Genetic DamageNo Effects Found
A chromosomal study of workers with long-term exposure to radio-frequency radiation.

Australian researchers studied 38 telecommunications workers who had long-term occupational exposure to radio frequency radiation (the type emitted by cell towers and wireless equipment) to see if their DNA showed more chromosome damage than unexposed office workers. After examining 200 cells from each person, they found no difference in genetic damage between the two groups. This suggests that RF exposure at levels within occupational safety limits may not cause detectable chromosome damage in white blood cells.
