This study
was part of two studies that investigated genotoxicity of
long-term exposure of mice to RF fields. The aim was to measure
micronuclei formation in erythrocytes. In the first study, mice
were exposed for 78 weeks (1.5h/d, 5d/wk) to either a continuous
902.5 MHz signal like that of NMT analog phones (whole-body SAR
1.5 W/kg), or to a pulsed 902.4 MHz signal like the GSM digital
phone (SAR 0.35 W/kg). A third group was sham-exposed, and a
fourth served as cage controls. All but the cage controls were
exposed to 4 Gγ of x-rays during the first 3 weeks of the
experiment. In the second study, mice were exposed for 52 weeks
(1.5h/d, 5d/wk), Two digital phone signals, GSM and DAMPS, were
used at SAR 0.5 W/kg. All but the cage controls were exposed
3 times per week to an ultraviolet radiation dose of 1.2 MED
(minimum erythema dose).
There were
no effects of RF fields on micronucleus frequency in polychromatic
or normochromic erythrocytes. |
