Jan 1, 2025
This in vitro study exposed human skin cells (fibroblasts and keratinocytes) to 5G-band electromagnetic fields for 2 hours and 48 hours using a fully blinded design. Exposures were up to ten times permissible limits, with sham exposure as a negative control and UV exposure as a positive control. The study reports…

Jan 1, 2025
This randomized sham-controlled study in 21 healthy participants tested whether routine-level 5G RF-EMF exposure affects fatigue and EEG power, while manipulating expectancy via correct, false, or no information about exposure order. The study reports no change in EEG power with real versus sham exposure. However,…

This paper describes the design and validation of a vibrating intrinsic reverberation chamber (VIRC) placed inside a walk-in plant growth chamber to enable controlled RF-EMF exposure studies with real-time electric-field monitoring. The authors report that the field in the VIRC is stable and statistically uniform…

This in vitro study exposed breast cell lines to a 1 Hz, 100 mT ELF-EMF for 5 days (2 h/day) and assessed migration, invasion, and cadherin expression. The authors report reduced migration and invasion in MDA-MB231 cells versus sham exposure. They also report increased E-cadherin and decreased N-cadherin in MDA-MB231…

This paper re-analyzes data from two prior double-blind provocation studies involving RF base station signals and sham exposures. Symptoms and reduced well-being were more strongly associated with participants' belief that the base station was "on" than with the exposure condition itself. The authors conclude that a…
Whole brain EEG synchronization likelihood modulated by long term evolution electromagnetic fields exposure.

Jan 1, 2014
This conference paper examined whether LTE radiofrequency EMF exposure affects whole-brain EEG functional connectivity. Ten participants completed a crossover, double-blind real versus sham exposure protocol with 30 minutes of exposure per session while 32-channel EEG was recorded. Using synchronization likelihood,…
Are media warnings about the adverse health effects of modern life self-fulfilling? An experimental study on idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF).

This randomized experiment tested whether a TV report warning about WiFi health effects could influence symptoms during a subsequent sham WiFi exposure. Over half of participants reported symptoms attributed to the sham exposure, and the warning film increased EMF-related worries. Among participants with higher…
Microwave radiation induced oxidative stress, cognitive impairment and inflammation in brain of Fischer rats.

Jan 1, 2012
This animal study exposed male Fischer-344 rats to 900 MHz or 1800 MHz microwave radiation for 30 days (2 h/day) and compared outcomes to sham exposure. The authors report significant cognitive impairment along with increased oxidative stress in brain tissue in exposed rats. They also report increased inflammatory…
