Genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields

February 7, 2021
Henry Lai (2021) Genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields, Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, DOI: 10.1080/15368378.2021.1881866 ABSTRACT This is a review of the research on the genetic effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic field (EMF), mainly on radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and static and extremely low frequency EMF (ELF-EMF). The majority of the studies are on genotoxicity (e.g., DNA damage, chromatin conformation changes, etc.)...

Are there indications for DNA damage associated to radiofrequency radiation from mobile phones? (Smith-Roe et al. 2019)

July 3, 2020
The publication by Smith-Roe et al. (2019) describes the genotoxicity analyses of rat and mice tissue samples, which were conducted as part of the life-long bioassay of the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding carcinogenesis of RF-EMF (see BERENIS Newsletter – Special Issue November 2018)....

The genomic effects of cell phone exposure on the reproductive system

June 9, 2018
Ahmad Yahyazadeha, Ömür Gülsüm Deniza, Arife Ahsen Kaplana, Gamze Altuna, Kıymet Kübra Yurta, Devra Davis https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2018.05.017 Highlights Electromagnetic fields (EMF) causes an imbalance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant mechanisms. EMF increases reactive oxygen species production. Exposure to EMF leads to disruptions in spermatogenic cells. Exposure to GSM-modulated EMF causes an increase in superoxide formation levels in...

“RFR has the potential to induce measurable DNA damage” NTP on DNA breaks

September 24, 2017
Scientists from the National Toxicology Program presented their data on the genotoxicity of cell phone radiation in rats and mice at the annual meeting of the Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society held in Raleigh, North Carolina from September 9-13, 2017. Male and female rats and mice were exposed to 2G cell phone radiation, either CDMA...
