“…The micronucleus (MN) test can investigate human genetic damages on, e.g., exfoliated buccal cells. Several studies applied this technique to explore the potential adverse effects of mobile phone RF-EMF, but the results were contradictory [ 19 , 20 ]. Most of the studies have several shortcomings that preclude firm conclusions [ 21 ].…”

The evolution of emerging technologies that use Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) has increased the interest of the scientific community and society regarding the possible adverse effects on human health and the environment. This article provides NextGEM’s vision to assure safety for EU citizens when employing existing and future EMF-based telecommunication technologies. This is accomplished by generating relevant knowledge that ascertains appropriate prevention and control/actuation actions regarding RF-EMF exposure in residential, public, and occupational settings. Fulfilling this vision, NextGEM commits to the need for a healthy living and working environment under safe RF-EMF exposure conditions that can be trusted by people and be in line with the regulations and laws developed by public authorities. NextGEM provides a framework for generating health-relevant scientific knowledge and data on new scenarios of exposure to RF-EMF in multiple frequency bands and developing and validating tools for evidence-based risk assessment. Finally, NextGEM’s Innovation and Knowledge Hub (NIKH) will offer a standardized way for European regulatory authorities and the scientific community to store and assess project outcomes and provide access to findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data.

“…More than two-thirds of the world population, meaning over five billion people, are mobile telephony subscribers. This technology is based on the exchange of signals between smartphones and base stations through electromagnetic waves known as radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) 1,2 . International organizations are responsible for establishing guidelines on limits of exposure to radiofrequency.…”

“…The rate at which RF-EMF is absorbed by the human body is called specific absorption rate (SAR), which is a standardized unit that measures the impact of radiofrequency electromagnetic waves on the human body and is expressed as Watt/kg. The maximum legal SAR level limited to any mobile phone is 1.6 Watt/kg 2 . Therefore, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to these radiofrequency values.…”

Aim: This study aimed to investigate whether non-ionizing radiation emitted by smartphones is likely to cause genotoxic effects on oral epithelial cells. Methods: Thirty adults were distributed into two groups according to the mobile phone brand used, namely Samsung (Samsung, Seoul, South Korea) and Apple (Apple, California, USA). The material was collected with gentle swabbing of the right and left buccal mucosa using a cervical brush, then the micronucleus test was performed. Results: The Mann-Whitney test with a 5% significance level did not reveal statistically significant differences in micronuclei frequency between the exposed and non-exposed sides (p=0.251). The different brands do not seem to cause risks of inducing genetic damage because there were no statistically significant differences between them (p=0.47). Conclusion: Therefore, our results suggest no correlations of micronuclei frequency in the exposed buccal cells of mobile phone users at the exposure standard levels observed.
