Primary cultured neurons and astrocytes exposed for 2 hours to emissions from a working GSM cell phone at 1900 MHz showed increased expression of several apoptosis-related genes. Caspase-2, caspase-6, and Asc were up-regulated in neurons and astrocytes, with …
The INTERPHONE study found a potential increase in glioma risk among heavy mobile phone users defined as more than 1,640 hours of use. The study included over 5,000 cases across 13 countries. Children were excluded from the study population.
Sexual dysfunction was reported more often in radar operators (43.6%) than controls (24.4%) (P < 0.01). Natural pregnancy rates differed between groups: in the radar group 53.6% occurred within 1 year of marriage and 46.4% after 1 year, versus 81.1% and 18.9%…

A single-Cooper-pair transistor electrometer emitted narrow-band microwave radiation when biased in the subgap region, detected spectroscopically using photoexcitation of quasiparticle tunneling in a nearby SCPT. Emission lines were attributed to Josephson ra…
Rabbit lenses exposed in vitro to 2450 MHz microwaves at 2.0 and 5.0 mW/cm(2) showed increased lens hydration versus controls and morphological/nuclear changes in lens epithelial cells; 0.5 mW/cm(2) showed no reported changes. At 2.0 mW/cm(2), PKC-alpha expre…

Exposure of UVW human glioma cells to ELF-EMF alone (1 mT, 50 Hz, 12 h) produced 0.011 mutations/locus/cell, reported as a 3.75-fold increase versus unexposed controls. ELF-EMF co-exposure increased the mutagenic capacity of 0.3 Gy and 3 Gy gamma irradiation …
Across two experimental rounds, lymphocyte cultures exposed to 50 Hz magnetic fields (sinusoidal or square; continuous or pulsed) at 1 microT or 1 mT for 72 h showed a significant increase in SCEs/cell in grouped experimental conditions compared with controls…
Bat activity was significantly reduced at sampling points with EMF strength >2 V/m (<200 m from radar) compared with matched control sites registering 0 V/m (>400 m, out of sight). Bat activity at lower EMF levels (<2 V/m within 200–400 m, line of sight) was …
Overnight exposure to 3.1 mT 50 Hz low-frequency electromagnetic fields significantly increased amyloid-beta (Abeta) secretion, including Abeta 1-42, in H4 neuroglioma cells overexpressing mutant amyloid precursor protein. Cell survival was not affected.
After 24-h intermittent exposure to pulsed 1800 MHz RF EMF (217 Hz modulation) at average SAR 2 W/kg, 24 genes were up-regulated and 10 genes were down-regulated among 1200 candidate genes in rat neuron; results were further confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR.
In SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, short-term 900 MHz modulated RF exposure induced a transient increase in Egr-1 mRNA, paralleling activation of ERK1/2 and SAPK/JNK. RF exposure showed anti-proliferative activity with a significant effect at 24 h, impaire…
Exposure to 50 Hz EMF at 1.33–7.32 mT was associated with significant differences between groups (P < 0.005) in light microscopy/morphometric measures. SEM reported abnormalities including larger/abnormal brain cavities, spina bifida, and eye malformations, a…
Fourteen male guinea pigs were randomized to control vs EMF exposure from a cellular phone (890–915 MHz, 217 Hz pulse rate, 2 W maximum peak power, SAR 0.95 W/kg) for 12 h/day for 30 days. In brain tissue, MDA increased and GSH and CAT decreased (all P<0.05),…
In gel phantoms with a stainless steel humerus implant, temperature rise at the implant tip increased linearly with SAR (reported 6.4°C at 2.0 W/kg and 12.7°C at 4.0 W/kg). Heating decreased steeply when the implant angle relative to B0 exceeded 45°, and decr…
A 24-year-old woman experienced acute ear pain, heat, and smoke from a mobile phone placed to the ear after dialing; otoscopy showed a burn of the external acoustic duct and hearing loss was later measured as 30 dB at 4000 Hz. Two weeks later the audiogram wa…
