EMF Study
(Database last updated on Mar 27, 2024)

ID Number 1733
Study Type Plant Studies
Model 900 MHz (GSM), 105 GHz exposure to flax seeds and analysis of subsequent plant growth
Details

Flax seedlines exposed to 900 MHz (GSM) RF for 2 hours/day, 6 days using a mobile phone mounted above and hooked to the network. Exposure was reported to show the same response as when cold shock or other weak environmental stressors were applied. In a subsequent study, mm waves (105 GHz) as a single 2 hour exposure was used in the same assay and shown to again trigger the same response (production of epidermal meristems in the hypocotyl).
