A 2025 study by Ilgaz et al. showed that exposure of rats to 6 GHz RF-EMR (0.065 W/kg) for 4 hours a day during 42 days resulted in histopathological and DNA changes in liver tissue. The authors stated that their study was the first one to specifically address the genotoxic and histopathological effects of 6 GHz RF-EMR.
Mobile telephony radiation exerts genotoxic action and significantly enhances the effects of gamma radiation in human cells🔗
Panagopoulos (2024) found that mobile telephony EMF at a power density ~136 times below the ICNIRP limits significantly enhanced the action of gamma radiation. People undergoing ionising radiation treatment should be instructed by their oncologists/radiologists to not use cell phones for several days around treatment.
Evaluation of oxidative stress and genetic instability among residents near mobile phone base stations in Germany🔗
S. Gulati et al (2024) did not find significant DNA damage and/or oxidative stress due to being near mobile phone base stations (MPBS). However, chromosomal aberrations, cytogenetic damage, higher levels of lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA lesions significantly increased in residents with higher exposure to RF-EMF from MPBS.
Mobile phone specific radiation disturbs cytokinesis and causes cell death but not acute chromosomal damage in buccal cells: Results of a controlled human intervention study🔗
In Michael Kundi et al.'s (2024) study, participants received UMTS signal doses with a SAR of 0.1-1.6 W/kg via headsets for 2 hours on 5 consecutive days. Buccal mucosa and micronucleated cells collected from both cheeks before and 3 weeks after exposure showed clear evidence of cell cycle disruption and cytotoxicity.
