Ultra high frequency-electromagnetic field irradiation during pregnancy leads to an increase in erythrocytes micronuclei incidence in rat offspring

Comparison of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of plutonium-239 alpha particles and mobile phone GSM 900 radiation in the Allium cepa test

“…The frequencies of chromosome aberrations (bridges and fragments) in the negative control and in the sham-exposed group were (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), lagging chromosomes (7)(8)(9)(10)(11), chromosome stickiness in metaphase (12), fragments (13)(14)(15), micronuclei (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), budding nuclei (26)(27)(28), three-group metaphase (29), amitosis (30), and unspecified abnormalities (31)(32)(33). 0.81 ± 0.16% and 0.83 ± 0.14%, respectively, and the frequency of micronuclei was 0.010 ± 0.003% in both groups (Table 3).…”

“…Additionally, the mobile phone radiation seems to have effects upon different biological species: bacteria [10], protozoa [11], plants [12,13], insects [14,15], amphibians [16], birds [17] and mammals [18][19][20][21]. These reports have contributed to a better knowledge of the interactions between EMF and living organisms.…”

8-oxoG DNA Glycosylase-1 Inhibition Sensitizes Neuro-2a Cells to Oxidative DNA Base Damage Induced by 900 MHz Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation

“…Previous studies observed significant increases in dicentric chromosomes (among smoker-alcoholic mobile users), sister chromatid exchanges (synergistic action with mitomycin C) [6], micro-nucleation and DNA strand breaks [7] in blood lymphocytes obtained from mobile phone users. A significant increase in erythrocyte micronuclei frequency was observed in newborn pups of mother rats maintained under 834 MHz EMF exposure at a SAR of 1.23 W/kg for 8.5 h per day throughout the gestation period [8]. Some studies [9,10] observed a significantly high frequency of chromosomal aberrations such as dicentric and ring chromosomes and an increase in the frequency of micronuclei in EMF-exposed V79 Chinese hamster cells and human blood lymphocytes.…”

Possible health risk of electromagnetic fields

“…The study was resulted that UHF-EMF was indeed able to generate cell chromosome damage transplacentally. However the effects of free radical metabolism on this damage was not clear 30 …”
