The International Collaborative Animal Study of The Carcinogenicity and Genotoxicity of Mobile Phone Radiofrequency Radiation: The Korean Study.
This chronic animal bioassay assessed carcinogenicity and genotoxicity of CDMA-modulated 900 MHz RF exposure at a whole-body SAR of 4 W/kg using a shared Korea–Japan protocol. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed starting on gestational day 5 with daily intermittent exposure for long durations, including a 2-year carcinogenicity study. The Korean arm reports no statistically significant changes in tumor incidence or survival, no notable organ effects, no body temperature changes, and no evidence of genotoxicity.
Key points
- The study used CDMA-modulated 900 MHz RF exposure at a whole-body SAR of 4 W/kg.
- Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to cage-control, sham-exposed, or RF-exposed groups.
- Exposure began on gestational day 5 and continued with 18 hours 20 minutes/day intermittent cycles.
- The Korean arm reports no statistically significant changes in tumor incidence or survival rates.
- No significant RF-related effects were detected in the heart, brain, or adrenal glands in the Korean arm.
- Genotoxicity testing in the Korean arm showed no evidence of DNA damage or mutation.
