“…The reason is the causal link between RF-EMF exposure and the occurrence of brain neoplasms. These have been recorded by several epidemiological studies because it is a specific organ, formed by highly sensitive nerve cells, with the highest specific absorption rate (SAR) of electromagnetic waves 17 . The group of Zielinski et al, observed the effects of exposure to pulse-modulated RF-EMF on apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress in human neuroblastoma and mouse microglial cells.…”

In recent decades, we have seen significant technical progress in the modern world, leading to the widespread use of telecommunications systems, electrical appliances, and wireless technologies. These devices generate electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and electromagnetic fields (EMF) most often in the extremely low frequency or radio-frequency range. Therefore, they were included in the group of environmental risk factors that affect the human body and health on a daily basis. In this study, we tested the effect of exposure EMF generated by a new prototype wireless charging system on four human cell lines (normal cell lines—HDFa, NHA; tumor cell lines—SH-SY5Y, T98G). We tested different operating parameters of the wireless power transfer (WPT) device (87–207 kHz, 1.01–1.05 kW, 1.3–1.7 mT) at different exposure times (pulsed 6 × 10 min; continuous 1 × 60 min). We observed the effect of EMF on cell morphology and cytoskeletal changes, cell viability and mitotic activity, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and oxidative stress. The results of our study did not show any negative effect of the generated EMF on either normal cells or tumor cell lines. However, in order to be able to estimate the risk, further population and epidemiological studies are needed, which would reveal the clinical consequences of EMF impact.
