Effects of 700MHz radiofrequency radiation (5G lower band) on the reproductive parameters of female Wistar rats

Jha N et al. · 2025

Researchers exposed female rats to 700MHz 5G radiation for either 10 days (6 hours daily) or 60 days (4 hours daily) to study reproductive effects. While hormone levels and fertility cycles remained mostly normal, long-term exposure caused oxidative stress in ovaries and tissue changes including cystic follicles. The findings suggest prolonged 5G exposure may harm reproductive organs through cellular damage.

Ilgaz NS et al. · 2025

Turkish researchers exposed rats to 6 GHz radiofrequency radiation (the frequency used in WiFi 6E) for 4 hours daily over 42 days and found liver tissue damage. While DNA damage wasn't statistically significant, the study revealed clear tissue inflammation, cell death, and blood vessel congestion in exposed animals. This is the first study to examine biological effects at this specific frequency.

The effect on rat peripheral nerve morphology and function of a 900-MHz electromagnetic field applied in the prenatal period

Hancı H, Yenilmez E, Demir S, Yıldırım M, Gedikli Ö, Kaya H · 2025

Researchers exposed pregnant rats to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields (similar to cell phone frequencies) for one hour daily throughout pregnancy, then examined their offspring's nerve development into adulthood. The study found that prenatal EMF exposure caused lasting structural damage to peripheral nerves, though not severe enough to impair nerve function. This suggests cell phone radiation during pregnancy may affect developing nervous systems in ways that persist long-term.

Oxidative StressNo Effects Found

Unknown authors · 2025

Researchers exposed brain neurons and skin cells to both 5G (3.5 GHz) and older GSM (1.8 GHz) wireless signals simultaneously to see if combining these technologies causes biological effects. The study found no significant changes in brain cell electrical activity, cellular stress responses, or harmful oxygen production at exposure levels up to 4 W/kg. This suggests that using 5G and older wireless technologies together doesn't create additional health risks under laboratory conditions.

The effect on rat peripheral nerve morphology and function of a 900-MHz electromagnetic field applied in the prenatal period

Hancı H, Yenilmez E, Demir S, Yıldırım M, Gedikli Ö, Kaya H · 2025

Researchers exposed pregnant rats to 900 MHz EMF (cell phone frequency) for one hour daily throughout pregnancy and examined the offspring's nerve development into adulthood.
