Cytogenetic studies in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro to 2.45 GHz or 8.2 GHz radiofrequency radiation

掲載誌: Radiat Res 2006; 166 (3): 532-538

この研究は、健康なヒトのボランティアから採取した末梢血サンプルに、生体外で2.45 GHzまたは8.2 GHzのパルス波無線周波RF電磁放射ばく露を与え、その影響を調べた。2つの周波数のRF放射はそれぞれ、正味順電力21 Wまたは60 W、平均電力密度5 mW / cm2または10 mW / cm2、平均比吸収率2.13 W / kgまたは20.71 W / kg、および2時間のばく露中維持された細胞温度は36.9±0.1℃または37.5±0.2℃であった。同じ血液サンプルのアリコート(一定分量)を、RF擬似ばく露または1.5 Gyガンマ線急性ばく露陽性対照)に用いた。培養リンパ球での染色体異常および小核頻度を検査して、細胞遺伝学損傷の程度を評価した。その結果、この実験に用いた条件下では、RF放射ばく露を受けたリンパ球擬似ばく露を受けたリンパ球での損傷のレベルに有意差はなかった;また、8.2 GHz RF放射ばく露中にフィトヘマグルチニンで刺激されたリンパ球刺激されなかったリンパ球における反応に有意差はなかった;対照的に、ガンマ線照射を受けた陽性対照群では、RF放射ばく露群および擬似ばく露群に比べ、損傷の程度が有意に高かった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To determine whether radiofrequency causes cytogenetic damage in human blood lymphocytes exposed in vitro.

詳細情報

Aliquots of the same blood samples from three male donors were used as positive controls (PHA-stimuated or to 1.5 Gy gamma radiation exposed cells).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The levels of cytogenetic damage in radiofrequency irradiation exposed and sham-exposed lymphocytes were not significantly different. Also in the response of unstimulated lymphocytes and lymphocytes stimulated with PHA were no signficant differences when exposed to 8.2 GHz radiofrequency irradiation. In contrast, the positive control cells that had been subjected to 1.5 Gy gamma radiation exhibited significantly more cytogenetic damage than radiofrequency irradiation- and sham-exposed lymphocytes.
