Genotoxicity of Radiofrequency Radiation

Concerns have been raised regarding potential adverse effects from exposures to radiofrequency radiation (RFR). The focus of the concern has been directed at DNA interactions, producing a large number of publications describing the effects of RFR on the integrity of nucleic acids. Data from over 100 studies conducted in the range of 800-3000 megahertz (MHz) were reviewed and subjected to a weight-of-evidence evaluation. The results suggest that, although some subtle effects on DNA replication and transcription may be induced, RFR is not directly genotoxic and adverse DNA effects from RFR at high power intensities are predominantly the result of hyperthermia.
