Study finds cell phone–level radiation below safety limits disrupts brain development in infant rats

A new peer-reviewed study published in Neurotoxicology has raised fresh concerns over the safety of everyday cell phone radiation, showing that exposure far below current U.S. legal limits can damage brain development in infant rats.

In the study researchers exposed pregnant rats and their offspring to 900 MHz radiofrequency radiation — a common cell phone frequency — at the “public safety limit” of 0.08 W/kg, the threshold set by international regulators (ICNIRP) for whole-body exposure. This level is 20 times lower than the maximum localised head exposure allowed by U.S. regulators, which is 1.6 W/kg.

Even at this lower threshold, the young rats displayed significant neurological and cellular changes. The study found fewer proliferating brain cells in the hippocampus and cortex, reduced synapse formation, and disrupted brain chemistry. Levels of BDNF, a protein critical for learning and memory, were markedly reduced. Neural stem cells also showed signs of DNA damage, cell death, and a shift away from forming neurons toward glial cells, potentially altering long-term brain development.

Importantly, these damaging effects were observed without major signs of oxidative stress, suggesting that the harm stems primarily from DNA damage and altered cell differentiation pathways.

The findings mirror earlier human data, including studies showing that high levels of wireless EMF exposure more than triple the risk of neurodevelopmental delays in infants. Researchers caution that developing brains appear particularly vulnerable to such exposures, and recommend minimising daily contact with wireless radiation whenever possible.

  1. Where do chem trails and cell phone towers factor into this toxic cocktail?
    If low frequency energy waves emitted by cell phone towers can easily pass through obstacles like walls, windows, and trees
    They can easily penetrate and pass through the brain and interact with heavy metals in the brain
    Like the constant stream of neutrinos passing through the brain
    NZ would be a good place for a lab rat experiment to be conducted and further expanded into 6G
    After all we are just some jerk water hick town down under
    And therefore treated accordingly

    • Chemtrails are about the ionisation of the atmosphere to control electro-magnetic conductivity.

      The 5-6 Giga Hertz microwaves emitted by cell phone towers cannot pass through solids (including trees) with much efficiency, hence their close proximity to each other and repeaters on lamp posts.

      These two systems (along with x-rad radar located at most international airports) enable HAARP level manipulations of the bio-sphere etc.

      New Zealand is an amazing country with a wonderful population of engaged and intelligent citizens.

      Treat others as you would treat yourself.
