Summary:

This is an in vitro study that investigated whether radiofrequency (RF) exposure has any effects on cancer cells. Three types of human cancer cells (leukaemia, breast cancer, and hepatic cancer cells) were exposed to RF via the RF identification (RFID) microchip technology. The exposure was at a frequency of 134.2 kilohertz (kHz) and no exposure level was indicated. Four experiment settings were compared which involved all possible combinations of inactive/active activator (where the signal is generated) and with/without microchip. The authors found that the RF exposure emanating from the active microchip slowed down the growth of cancer cells.
