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…

This randomized, triple-blind crossover study examined whether 26 GHz (5G millimeter-wave) exposure affects human EEG activity. Thirty-one healthy young adults completed real and sham 26.5-minute exposures at 2 V/m, with EEG recorded before, during, and after exposure. The study reports no significant effects of…

This in vitro study examined whether 26.5 GHz millimeter-wave exposure (continuous wave and 5G-modulated) affects key cellular endpoints in human neuroblastoma cells. Cells were exposed for 3 hours at SAR 1.25 W/kg using a reverberation-chamber system, with assessments including cell cycle and DNA damage. The study…

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 study assessed whether 915 MHz RF-EMF exposure alters oxidative stress and apoptosis markers in cardiac cells and mouse heart tissue. The authors report no statistically significant differences in apoptotic profile, antioxidant capacity, tissue integrity, or expression of apoptosis/antioxidant genes after…

This double-blind provocation study examined whether short RF-EMF exposure alters salivary biomarkers in electrohypersensitive (EHS) individuals. Ten participants underwent sham and real exposure sessions with consecutive GSM 900, GSM 1800, DECT, and Wi‑Fi signals for 5 minutes each. The study reports no significant…

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…

This experimental study tested whether providing precautionary information about EMF from WLAN devices increases symptom reporting during an alleged exposure situation. In a sham-exposure design (N=137), participants received either basic information about current WLAN exposure limits or additional precautionary…

This animal experiment tested whether extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) exposure interacts with GABAA receptor modulation to affect serum testosterone in male rats. Rats were exposed for 30 days (8 hours/day) or sham exposed, then given saline, a GABAA antagonist (bicuculline), or a GABAA…

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…
