Exposure to hexavalent chromium and 1800 MHz electromagnetic radiation can synergistically induce intracellular DNA damage in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Research PubMed: RF-EMF health Jan 31, 2026

This PubMed-listed in vitro study tested whether 1800 MHz RF-EMF exposure can modify chemically induced DNA damage in mouse embryonic fibroblasts under standardized, non-thermal conditions. The authors report RF-EMF alone did not produce detectable DNA damage and did not significantly increase damage from hydrogen peroxide, 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, or cadmium. However, co-exposure with hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) was reported to synergistically increase DNA damage in the comet assay, which the authors interpret as possible selective exacerbation of Cr(VI)-induced genotoxicity requiring further investigation.

Microbiological safety of dehydrated foods: risk analysis, technology evaluation, and synergistic strategies for next-generation processing

Research PubMed: RF-EMF health Jan 9, 2026

This PubMed-listed review examines microbiological hazards in dehydrated foods and evaluates intervention and drying technologies to improve safety. It includes discussion of electromagnetic field-assisted drying approaches (e.g., microwave, radiofrequency, infrared) as processing tools for microbial control and dehydration efficiency. The EMF content is framed in an industrial food-processing context rather than human RF-EMF exposure or health risk from environmental sources.

Exposure to hexavalent chromium and 1800 MHz electromagnetic radiation can synergistically induce intracellular DNA damage in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2026

This in vitro study tested whether 1800 MHz RF-EMF modifies chemically induced DNA damage in mouse embryonic fibroblasts under non-thermal exposure conditions. RF-EMF alone did not produce detectable DNA damage and did not significantly enhance damage from hydrogen peroxide, 4NQO, or cadmium. In contrast, co-exposure with hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) was reported to synergistically increase DNA damage, suggesting a selective co-genotoxic interaction under specific chemical conditions.

HHS Is Breaking Federal Law Public Law 90-602

Independent Voices RF Safe Nov 26, 2025

An RF Safe commentary argues that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is violating Public Law 90-602 by failing to continuously update radiation-safety standards, asserting that no formal revisions have occurred since the mid-1980s. The post links this alleged inaction to continued public exposure from wireless technologies and calls for renewed long-term research and stricter exposure limits. It also claims the National Toxicology Program (NTP) was shut down in 2024 and references a 2021 court decision criticizing FCC RF rules, urging congressional action and new legislation.

Brain Tumor and Mobile Phone Risk Among Young People: Analysis of Japanese People Using the MOBI-Kids International Case-Control Study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This Japanese case-control study within the MOBI-Kids framework examined mobile phone use and brain tumor risk among people aged 10–29 years in the Kanto region. Using logistic regression adjusted for age and sex, it reports no increased brain tumor risk associated with mobile phone use, including analyses considering weighted output power and technical characteristics. The authors highlight possible recall bias and limited power in sub-analyses and recommend ongoing research as wireless technologies change.

Synergistic Effects of 2600 MHz Radiofrequency Exposure and Indomethacin on Oxidative Stress and Gastric Mucosal Injury in Rats

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This rat study tested whether 2600 MHz radiofrequency field exposure interacts with indomethacin to affect gastric tissue. Both exposures alone were reported to increase oxidative stress and reduce antioxidant markers in the stomach. Co-exposure was reported to intensify oxidative stress, apoptosis, and histological gastric mucosal injury compared with either factor alone, consistent with a synergistic detrimental effect in this model.

Combined effects of constant temperature and radio frequency exposure on Aedes mosquito development

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This laboratory study tested combined effects of constant temperature and RF exposure on development of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus from hatching to adult emergence. Temperature was reported as the primary determinant of developmental timing, with optimal development around 302C. RF exposure (900 MHz and 18 GHz) was described as a secondary factor that could accelerate or prolong development depending on temperature, with synergistic shortening at 250C and prolongation under suboptimal conditions.

Residential exposure to magnetic field due to high-voltage power lines and childhood leukemia risk in mainland France - GEOCAP case-control study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This French GEOCAP registry-based case-control study evaluated childhood acute leukemia risk in relation to residential proximity to high-voltage overhead power lines and modeled ELF magnetic-field exposure. It reports an increased risk for children under 5 living within 50 m of power lines, particularly when restricting to high-quality geocoded addresses. However, modeled ELF-MF exposure >0.3 µT was not associated with increased risk, and the authors suggest proximity may capture other factors and call for further research and precaution.
