A Unique Approach to Test the Effects of Cell Phone Radiation using Yeast Cells
| Défi: | Santé | | Catégorie: | Junior | | Région: | | | Ville: | , | | École: | | | Sommaire: | This experiment exposed cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae/Baker's Yeast (HA2 strain) to cell phones so the mutagenicity of non-ionizing radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by cell phones could be tested. Results showed a statistically significant increase (p=0.0026) in the mutation rates of the cultures exposed to RF radiation compared to the control cultures. These results suggest that cell phone (RF) radiation may have implications for human health. |
