Abstract

Overview

The study conducted by Smith-Roe et al., which evaluated the genotoxic effects of cell phone radiofrequency radiation on male and female rats and mice exposed subchronically, has primarily focused on the potential dangers provided by prolonged exposure to cellphone radiation.

Findings

  • Radiofrequency radiation was tested for its genotoxic capabilities.
  • Both genders of two species, rats and mice, were included in the study.

Conclusion

This commentary addresses the original study by providing an analysis and critical review of the methodology, results, and implications of the findings, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the biological risks of radiofrequency radiation exposure linked with cell phone use.
