Radiofrequency radiation from mobile phones and the risk of breast cancer: A multicenter case-control study with an additional suspected comparison group
Research
PubMed: RF-EMF health
Feb 2, 2026
A multicenter case-control study in Iran reported that self-reported prolonged mobile phone use was associated with higher odds of confirmed and suspected breast cancer status. The authors emphasize that the findings do not imply causation and note limitations including self-reported exposure and potential residual…

This multicenter case-control study in Iran (n=226) examined associations between mobile phone use and breast cancer outcomes in women. Reporting more than 60 minutes/day of phone conversations was associated with higher odds of confirmed invasive breast cancer and of being classified as a suspected case versus
Investigation of the Effects of 2.45 GHz Near-Field EMF on Yeast

Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro study exposed yeast suspensions to 2.45 GHz near-field microwave radiation at 2 cm and 4 cm for 20 or 60 minutes. It reports oxidative-stress-related changes (reduced antioxidant activity with increased membrane permeability) after 20 minutes at 2 cm, an effect not reproduced by conventional heating.…
Low-frequency electromagnetic fields as an alternative to sanitize water of drinking systems in poultry production?

Jan 1, 2019
This study tested pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic fields (up to 10,000 Hz; max 21 mT) as a potential alternative sanitation approach for poultry drinking water systems. LF-EMF exposure was linked to variable changes in culturable bacterial counts, with direction depending on system type and some early…

Jan 1, 2015
This in vitro study exposed human blood platelet suspensions to 1 kHz electromagnetic fields at 150 or 220 V/m for 30 or 60 minutes. The authors report increased ROS and MDA (at 220 V/m, 30 min) and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD-1 and catalase), with the largest changes at 220 V/m for 60 minutes. They…
Citrate-capped gold nanoparticle electrophoretic heat production in response to a time-varying radiofrequency electric-field.

Jan 1, 2012
This in vitro study examines RF-induced heat production in citrate-capped gold nanoparticle suspensions while minimizing confounding Joule heating from ionic buffers. It reports size-dependent heating detectable only for ≤10 nm particles, with heating scaling with concentration and surface area and being attenuated…
Electric field induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions: new insights from WAXS, SEM, leak current, dielectric permittivity, and rheometry.

Jan 1, 2010
This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…
Microscopic dynamics of the orientation of a hydrated nanoparticle in an electric field.

Jan 1, 2009
This paper uses atomistic simulations to examine how a nonpolar nanoparticle suspended in water reorients under an applied electric field. The authors report that molecular-level effects increase the torque relative to continuum estimates and substantially speed up reorientation above a stated field threshold. The…
