Cancers in normal mice exposed to cell phone radiation [Health Effects]

From 19 to 78 weeks, and two-year or life-long study of cancer in normal (nontransgenic) CD-1, ODC, CBA/S, and B6C3F1 mice exposed to cellphone fields like the personal digital cellular (PDC) phone, digital advanced mobile phone system (DAMPS) fields, global system for mobile communications (GSM-900) fields, digital cellular system (DCS), and time division multiple access (TDMA) fields are presented. Results reveal that: exposure to DAMPS and TDMA in 19 and 58 weeks, respectively, did not indicate cocarcinogenic effect on skin tumorigenesis; the two year study on the carcinogenic potential in female and male B6C3F1 exposed to GSM-900 and DCS-1800 fields did not show any overall increase in the incidence of tumours; and the specific absorption rate (SAR) in restrained mice are varied widely (by as much as 85-fold) for both GSM and DCS exposure.
