Jan 1, 2026
This international collaborative animal study (Japanese arm) evaluated carcinogenicity and genotoxicity in male Sprague Dawley rats exposed long-term to 900 MHz CDMA-modulated RF-EMFs at 4 W/kg whole-body SAR. The abstract reports no statistically significant increases in neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions in major…
Effects of Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Field Exposure (50 Hz, 200 µT) on Cell Viability, DNA Damage and Micronucleus Formation of Human Skin Cells.

Jan 1, 2026
This in vitro study tested whether 50 Hz extremely low frequency magnetic fields at 200 µT (rms) affect human skin cells (HaCaT). Using blinded, simultaneous exposure and sham-exposure for 2 or 24 hours, the authors assessed cell viability, DNA integrity, and micronucleus formation. The abstract reports no…

Jan 1, 2025
This review/technical note discusses whether chronic EMF exposure, mainly from mobile phones and wireless devices, should be reconsidered as a possible risk factor for oral cancer/OSCC. It highlights biological plausibility and reports from pilot cytogenetic and laboratory studies, plus limited epidemiological…
Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies in Sprague Dawley (Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD) rats exposed to whole-body radio frequency radiation at a frequency (900 MHz) and modulations (GSM and CDMA) used by cell phones

Jan 1, 2018
This National Toxicology Program technical report describes 900 MHz whole-body RFR exposures (GSM and CDMA) in male and female Sprague Dawley rats from in utero through up to 2 years. The report concludes clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in males for both modulations based on malignant schwannoma of the heart,…
Is mobile phone radiation genotoxic? An analysis of micronucleus frequency in exfoliated buccal cells.

Jan 1, 2017
This cross-sectional study assessed whether mobile phone-associated EMF exposure is associated with micronucleus frequency in exfoliated buccal cells. Among 86 healthy users aged 18–30, micronucleus frequency was not associated with duration of daily calls and did not differ significantly between the cheek on the…
A cross-sectional study on oxidative stress in workers exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields
Research

Jan 1, 2015
This cross-sectional study compared oxidative stress and genotoxicity biomarkers between 310 ELF-EMF-exposed inspection workers and 300 logistical staff controls. The authors report no statistically significant differences in antioxidant-related measures (T-AOC, GPx, SOD) or MDA, and no significant differences in…
Genetic damage in mammalian somatic cells exposed to radiofrequency radiation: a meta-analysis of data from 63 publications (1990-2005)
Research

Jan 1, 2008
A meta-analysis of 63 publications assessed whether radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure is associated with genetic damage in mammalian somatic cells using multiple genotoxicity endpoints. Overall differences between RF-exposed and control conditions were reported as small, though statistically significant…
