EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO RADIOFREQUENCY FIELDS (UMTS/IMT-2000; 1950 MHZ) ON DNA STRAND BREAKS AND MICRONUCLEUS FORMATION IN CULTURED CELLS

摘要

We investigated the effects of exposure to RF fields (UMTS/IMT-2000; 1950 MHz) on DNA strand breaks in HL-60 cells and micronucleus (MN) formation in human skin fibroblast TIG-119 cells;No significant differences in the DNA strand breaks were observed using Alkaline comet assay nor were the frequencies of MN formation altered in the RF exposure group compared with the sham-exposure and control groups.
