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,…

This in vitro study exposed human fetal and adult fibroblasts to 25 GHz microwave radiation and assessed multiple genotoxic and cellular endpoints. The authors report no evidence of direct DNA damage and no apoptosis or changes in prosurvival signalling proteins. However, they report increased total and…
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…

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…
[Evaluation of the genotoxicity of the extremely low frequency-magnetic fields (ELF-MF) in workers exposed for professional reasons].

Jan 1, 2007
This occupational study assessed whether extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) are associated with genotoxicity using cytogenetic assays in 109 workers. Comparisons across exposure strata, including a highest-exposed subgroup (TWA > 1 microT), found no significant differences in CA, SCE, or MN outcomes.…
