Microwave and RF Exposure-Induced Molecular and Genetic Alterations
This review discusses recent studies on microwave and RF exposure and their reported impacts on molecular and cytogenetic materials. It states there is growing evidence that RF exposure can induce DNA damage at levels considered safe by current standards, and cites newly reported genetic alterations in rat cancers after lifetime low-level RF exposure. The article concludes that these findings challenge existing exposure guidelines and support reconsideration of regulatory limits.
Key points
- Describes recent research attention on microwave/RF exposure and molecular/cytogenetic effects.
- Reports that RF exposure is associated with molecular and genetic changes in biological systems.
- States there is growing evidence of DNA damage at exposure levels considered safe by current regulatory standards.
- Cites newly reported genetic alterations in rat cancers (gliomas and cardiac schwannomas) after lifetime low-level RF exposure.
- Interprets the data as indicating a tangible risk of genetic damage with potential cancer and other health effects.
- Concludes that current exposure guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these emerging findings.
