“…BMD is a critical parameter that reflects cancellous bone mass. It was found that exposure to 1.8 GHz RF field for 28 days had no dramatic effects on BMD of mice femur, which was consistent with Aslan et al's [] results. They found that exposure to 900 MHz EMF had no obvious effects on BMD of rat's bone tissue.…”

To investigate the effects of 1.8 GHz radiofrequency (RF) field on bone microstructure and metabolism of femur in mice, C57BL/6 mice (male, age 4 weeks) were whole-body exposed or sham exposed to 1.8 GHz RF field. Specific absorption rates of whole body and bone were approximately 2.70 and 1.14 W/kg (6 h/day for 28 days). After exposure, microstructure and morphology of femur were observed by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) and Masson staining. Subsequently, bone parameters were calculated directly from the reconstructed images, including structure model index, bone mineral density, trabecular bone volume/total volume, connectivity density, trabecular number, trabecular thickness, and trabecular separation. Biomarkers that reflect bone metabolism, such as serum total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), were determined by biochemical assay methods. Micro-CT and histology results showed that there was no significant change in bone microstructure and the above parameters in RF group, compared with sham group. The activity of serum ALP and BALP increased 29.47% and 16.82%, respectively, in RF group, compared with sham group (P < 0.05). In addition, there were no significant differences in the activity of serum TRACP-5b between RF group and sham group. In brief, under present experimental conditions, we did not find support for an effect of 1.8 GHz RF field on bone microstructure; however, it might promote metabolic function of osteoblasts in mice.

“…It has units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). Although the limit of SAR values varies between 0.008 and 4.2 W/kg, the average of SAR is 0.13-1.4 W/kg [4]. Accepted upper limit of SAR value of the cell phone is 0.1 W/kg.…”

Thanks to the technology, mobile devices including cell phones have become an integral part of the modern life. Therefore, public concern pertaining to short-term and long-term possible adverse effects of using cell phone and electromagnetic radiation exposure of it is growing rapidly. There are various studies by which the positive and negative results have been demonstrated. The relationship between cell phone exposure and developing cancer risk has been still unclear. This review presents the relationship between cell phone use and cancer risk and declaration of some organisations.
