Peer-reviewed research finds 1800 MHz radiofrequency exposure synergistically increases DNA damage when combined with hexavalent chromium—suggesting RF may act as a 'co-carcinogen' that enhances chemical genotoxicity.
"RF-EMF exposure alone did not induce detectable DNA damage, nor did it significantly enhance DNA damage caused by H2O2, 4NQO, or Cd2+. In contrast, co-exposure to RF-EMF and Cr(VI) resulted in a significant synergistic increase in DNA damage."
"These findings suggest that RF-EMF may selectively exacerbate Cr(VI)-induced genotoxicity, highlighting the need for further investigation into the underlying co-toxic mechanisms."
