At the 4th International Seminar on EMFs and Biological Effects, held in Kunming China, September 12-16, Zhengping Xu of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine reported that cells exposed to a pulsed 1800 MHz RF radiation at an SAR of 3 W/Kg for 24 hours showed a statistically significant increase in DNA damage. The Mobile Manufacturers Forum (MMF), = an industry lobbying group based in Brussels, circulated the news in a September 22 Research Briefing. Xu=92s Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory now joins a growing number of other = labs that have found RF-induced DNA breaks. The effect was first reported more than a decade ago by Henry Lai and N.P. Singh of the University of Washington, Seattle (see MWN, N/D94). From the outset, Lai and Singh=92s w= ork has been repeatedly assailed by the cell phone industry and their consultants =97most recently by Sheila Johnston and Vijayalaxmi, two membe= rs of the board of directors of the Bioelectromagnetics Society (see March 29 entry below. They ciaimed to have refuted the Lai-Singh findings. Last year, the European Union-sponsored REFLEX Project announced that 1800 MHz radiation could lead to DNA breaks. Those results were published this summer in Mutation Research. The MMF also noted that C.K. Chou of Motorola (a member of the MMF) complained at the meeting that it is difficult to publish =93negative=94 r= esults in China. (WHO =92s Mike Repacholi made a similar charge at the last Chine= se EMF seminar held in Guilin in 2003, according to the MMF.) Xu disputed thi= s, the MMF added. http://www.microwavenews.com/fromthefield.html#chinadna --- Volker Hartenstein Ro=DFhirtstr. 11, 97199 Ochsenfurt Tel.: (09331) 2825 Web-Fax: 01212/5 132 53 270 E-Mail: vohar@skydsl.de --- Ziel dieser Mailing-Liste ist die m=F6glichst weite Verbreitung von (Fach-)Informationen zum Thema =B4Hochfrequenzfelder=B4.
