Studies on tumor incidence in mice exposed to GSM cell-phone radiation [Health Effects]

This paper studies on tumor incidence in mice exposed to GSM cell-phone radiation. The first study of lymphomas in female Emu_Pim1 transgenic mice using frequencies and modulations specific to cellular mobile phones was conducted in Australia in which the incidence was shown to be significantly higher (odds ratio, OR = 2.4) in the exposed mice (43%) than in the sham controls (22%) [M.H. Repacholi et al., 1997] following 18 months of two 30-min periods per day exposure to 900-MHz plane-wave radiation repeated at 217 Hz [signals that mimic global system for mobile communication (GSM) digital mobile phones].
