Summary:
This animal study investigated whether exposure to radiofrequency (RF) EMF causes promotion of tumours. Pregnant mice were treated with a carcinogen and exposed to RF-EMF at four exposure conditions: sham, at specific absorption rate (SAR) of 0.04, 0.4 and 2 Watts per kilogram (W/kg) (ranging from 2-100% of the public exposure limits in the Australian Standard for RF exposure). The study found tumour-promoting effects at exposure levels below the limits although no clear dose-response effect was observed. The authors concluded that further studies are warranted to investigate the underlying mechanisms.
