Igor Belyaev, Sachin Gulati, Wilhelm Mosgoeller and Dietrich Moldan respond to a German Federal Office for Radiation Protection statement about their RF-EMF chromosomal-aberration study. The authors acknowledge the study's exploratory design and limited sample size, but argue that several parts of the BfS interpretation require scientific clarification.
ℹ️ Follow-up/response article. EMF Signal previously covered the underlying Gulati et al. chromosomal-aberration study; this draft covers the authors' published response to the BfS statement.

"We acknowledge that our study was exploratory in nature, included a limited number of participants, and cannot by itself establish causality between long-term RF-EMF exposure and biological effects."

— Igor Belyaev et al. (study authors)

"The principal finding of the study was an elevated frequency of several chromosomal aberration endpoints in the higher-exposure group."

— Igor Belyaev et al. (study authors)

"In our view, statistically significant findings in such biologically established cytogenetic endpoints warrant careful scientific consideration and further investigation."

— Igor Belyaev et al. (study authors)

"In conclusion, our study (Gulati et al., 2024) provides statistically robust evidence consistent with an association between long-term RF-EMF exposure and increased chromosomal aberrations under the investigated conditions."

— Igor Belyaev et al. (study authors)
