摘要: Background A recent publication by Schwarz et al. describes the effects of exposure human fibroblast and lymphocytes to radiofrequency-electromagnetic fields at frequencies used for communication with mobile phones. Even very low specific absorption rates 0.05 W/kg, thus well below internationally accepted limits, significant were seen in fibroblasts whose DNA molecules damaged as assessed their comet tail factor (CTF) assay.
