Researchers demonstrate that 2.45 GHz radiofrequency radiation — the frequency used by WiFi routers — induces oxidative stress, membrane disruption, and macromolecular leakage in bacteria found on human skin, raising questions about effects on the skin microbiome.
"Exposure to 2.45 GHz RFR induces oxidative stress, membrane disruption, and macromolecular leakage in skin-associated bacteria, suggesting possible risks to skin microbiome stability under high-RFR environments."
