Description
The potential health hazards of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) exposure have been a subject of concern for decades. However, the effects remain highly controversial, and the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In our study, we found that co-exposure to 1800 MHz RF-EMF and chromium (Cr) exhibits a synergistic effect on inducing DNA damage in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Specifically, RF-EMF significantly enhances DNA damage in cells treated with Cr, whereas no significant DNA damage was observed when cells were exposed to RF-EMF alone. These findings provide evidence that environmental pollutants, when encountered together, may increase the risk of genetic instability. The study highlights the need for further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying this interaction and the potential long-term health risks.
