Cell Death Induced by Mobile Phone Radiation

 Powerwatch | Nov 20, 2006

A new study from Greece has found that cell death can be generated in fruit flies by exposing them to a few minutes per day of GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1800 MHz mobile phone radiation for the first six days of their adult life. They found that a significant proportion of egg chambers are broken down due to DNA fragmentation of their constituent cells, and found this effect for both types of mobile phone radiation.

This is yet another study that is experimentally repeatable, which shows a definitively recorded measure of damage to live cells and tissue from mobile phone radiation. As with the study covered in our news story two months ago, this is the sort of research that needs urgent attempts to replicate. If this can be successfully replicated, it can easily become definitive evidence that mobile phones are potentially capable of causing damaging non-thermal effects.
