Abstract
RF-EMF exposure (1800Â MHz; SAR 1.2 or 2Â W/kg; different modulations; during 4, 16 and 24Â h; intermittent 5Â min on/10Â min off or continuous wave) induced DNA single- and double-strand breaks. Effects occurred after 16Â h exposure in both cell types and after different mobile-phone modulations. The intermittent exposure showed a stronger effect in the comet assay than continuous exposure. Therefore we conclude that the induced DNA damage cannot be based on thermal effects.
