Another Cellphone Radiation Study: How it affects your Skin

Finnish researchers have expanded on earlier in vitro skin cell studies and this time used human volunteers who were exposed to a computer controlled GSM phone at 900 MHz on an area on their arms, then a biopsy taken. The control was a similar area on their other arm with no exposure, and again, a biopsy of the area was taken.

The results they obtained show alterations to some of the skin cell proteins on the exposed side, very similar to their earlier studies. They say that this indicates more human testing should be undertaken.

You can read the abstract here: "Mobile phone radiation might alter protein expression in human skin".
