ID Number		104
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		380 MHz (PW-17.65 Hz TETRA), 900 & 1800 MHz (GSM) exposure to cell lines and analysis of proliferation
Details		Human leukemia HL-60 cells (transformed human tumor cells) were exposed to 380 MHz (averaged SAR 77.7 W/kg) , 900 & 1800 MHz (electrical field strength 19 and 26 V/m, resp.) for 8 and 24 hours in a GTEM-cell. As a critical analytical indicator of the growth speed of leukemia cells, the doubling time and synthesis + release of the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) was determined. Exposure had no effect on proliferation by cell count or on TK activity. A cancerogenic effect of electromagnetic fields can therefore not be determined. Start date September 1993, end date February 1997
