Nerve cell damage in mammalian brain after exposure to microwaves from GSM mobile phones
Salford LG, Brun AE, Eberhardt JL, Malmgren L, Persson BR · Environmental Health Perspectives · Sweden
Summary
A single 2-hour GSM exposure produced albumin leakage across the blood-brain barrier and dark neurons in rat cortex and hippocampus 50 days later, at SAR values comparable to human phone use.
Key findings
- 01Blood-brain barrier permeability increased at 0.02 W/kg
- 02Dark, damaged neurons visible in cortex and hippocampus
- 03Effect persisted long after the single exposure
