Cellphone Radiation Causes Abnormal Blood Clumping in Just 5 Minutes, Study Finds

Cellphone Radiation Causes Abnormal Blood Clumping in Just 5 Minutes, Study Finds
by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., childrenshealthdefense.org, April 29, 2025

Ultrasound imaging revealed that cellphone exposure caused a healthy woman’s blood cells to abnormally clump up, even when the cellphone was an inch away from her skin, according to a new peer-reviewed study published in Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development.


A healthy woman’s blood cells formed abnormal clumps after just five minutes of having an idle cellphone placed on her leg. The same thing happened when researchers held the cellphone an inch away from the woman’s body, according to a peer-reviewed study published April 23 in Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development.

Using ultrasound, the researchers showed that the woman’s blood cells developed a rouleaux formation, an abnormal red blood cell pattern in which the cells stack together in long rows like piles of coins, according to MyHematology.com.

WHO Review Finds Cancer Risk in RF-Exposed Animals

WHO Review Finds Cancer Risk in
RF-Exposed Animals


At Odds with ICNIRP, Most Health Agencies
Microwave News, April 27, 2025, Last updated April 28, 2025

A major review of animal studies has found reliable evidence that RF radiation increases the risk of cancer.

The new systematic review was commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) EMF office in Geneva as part of its ongoing assessment of RF health effects (more here).

It concludes: “[T]here is evidence that RF EMF exposure increases the incidence of cancer in experimental animals with the [certainty of evidence] being strongest for malignant heart schwannomas and gliomas” (brain tumors).

This finding runs counter to the stated views of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the WHO itself, as well those of most national health agencies.

The open access paper, which runs more than 75 manuscript pages in the journal Environment International, was published on April 25.

‘High Certainty’ Cellphone Radiation Linked to Cancer in Animals, WHO Study Finds

‘High Certainty’ Cellphone Radiation Linked to Cancer in Animals, WHO Study Finds

Experts say it’s time for the World Health Organization to classify wireless radiation as a “known human carcinogen,” after a review commissioned by the organization concluded there is “high certainty” evidence that cellphone radiation exposure causes two types of cancer in animals.

by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D., childrenshealthdefense.org, April 28, 2025

A systematic review commissioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded there is “high certainty” evidence that cellphone radiation exposure causes two types of cancer in animals.

The WHO-backed review, published online April 25 in Environmental International, determined radiofrequency-electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by cellphones and other wireless devices were linked to an increased risk of malignant gliomas in the brain and malignant schwannomas, or nerve tumors, in the heart in studies on animals. The review noted that both tumor types had previously been found in studies on humans.

The WHO’s review also concluded there is “moderate certainty” evidence that cellphone radiation exposure causes an increased risk of rare liver and adrenal gland tumors.

Radiofrequencies and cancer: this WHO monograph reshuffles the deck

Radiofrequencies and cancer: this WHO monograph reshuffles the deck
By : Phonegate Team • 29 Apr 2025

For over twenty years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been publishing monographs assessing the risk between radiofrequencies and cancer. This new monograph, the tenth of eleven planned, marks a notable break: whereas previous monographs concluded that the risk was limited or uncertain, this one points to more robust animal evidence and highlights worrying signals for public health.


In 2011, the IARC classified radiofrequencies as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B), on the basis of an increased risk of glioma in intensive users of cell phones. Since then, most monographs have downplayed the risks, despite the massive increase in worldwide exposure and the proliferation of scientific studies.

Enhanced animal evidence on several tumor types

Monograph 2025 is based on 52 animal studies, including 20 long-term bioassays, and concludes that there is a high level of evidence (“high certainty”) for an increase in certain cancers in male rats exposed to radiofrequencies:

  • Cerebral gliomas: significant increase in male rats exposed to high SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) levels (up to 6 W/kg).
  • Cardiac schwannomas: increased risk in male rats, with dose-response effects observed in two independent long-term studies.
  • Hepatoblastomas and lung tumors: significant increase in male mice exposed to CDMA (3G)-modulated radiofrequencies.

New WHO-Funded Study Reports High Certainty of the Evidence Linking Cell Phone Radiation to Cancer in Animals

New WHO-Funded Study Reports High Certainty of the Evidence Linking Cell Phone Radiation to Cancer in Animals

Scientific Experts Urge the FCC to Establish Science-Based Exposure Limits to Address Wireless Health Risks

Media Contact: communications@icbe-emf.org
Press Release April 27, 2025

Environment International has published a new systematic review, partially funded by the World Health Organization, concluding that there is high certainty of the evidence linking cell phone radiofrequency (RF) radiation to two types of cancer in animals. In response, leading scientists from the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) are calling for immediate policy action to protect public health and the environment, warning that further delay could have serious consequences amid the global surge in the use of wireless communication devices.

What the Review Found

A new systematic review of 52 animal studies, “Effects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure on Cancer in Laboratory Animal Studies” by Mevissen et al. (2025), concluded there is high certainty of the evidence linking RF radiation exposure to two types of tumors: gliomas in the brain and malignant schwannomas in the heart. Notably, the same types of tumors have also been observed in human studies, adding significant confidence that the associations observed in human studies are real.

EHT’s Important Study on Blood Cell Aggregation from Cell Phone Exposure in Environment Magazine—with New Details!
Link to study: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00139157.2025.2471222

Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development released its spring issue today, and it features an article by Dr. Robert Brown, EHT’s Vice President of Scientific Research and Clinical Affairs, about his recently published study on cell phone radiation causing human blood cells to stick together.

Even if you have already read about Dr. Brown’s study in our blog post on the subject, the article in Environment is an important read because it includes new information, discovered after the publication of the initial study — namely that the rouleau effect documented in the study, in which blood cells adhere to each other after five minutes of cell phone exposure, also occurs when a cell phone is held an inch away from the body. The article includes ultrasound images and video of the phenomenon occurring both when a cell phone is touching a volunteer’s body and when the device is simply close to the leg. Click the image to read the article for an explanation of the full impact of this initial research, its implications for human health, and what follow-up research EHT is planning next.

Sweden: High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro

High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro, Sweden

Hardell L, Nilsson M. High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro, Sweden. Fortune Journal of Health Sciences. 8 (2025): 306-310.


Abstract

In Sweden as well as in many other countries the fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is rolled-out since 2019/2020. This has caused increasing environmental exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Children and adolescents are especially vulnerable to RF radiation. Exposure sources in schools such as Wi-Fi routers, wireless connected mobile phones, and computers may cause high RF-exposure inside the schools but also outside sources, such as mobile phone base stations, may contribute significantly. In this study outside environmental exposure to RF radiation from 4G and 5G base stations was measured in October 2024 in close proximity to 10 schools in Sweden. The maximum levels ranged from 10,716 to 68,452 μ/m2. These levels far exceed the EUROPAEM EMF guidelines for daytime RF radiation exposure 10-1,000 μW/m2, nighttime 1-100 μW/m2, and for sensitive persons 0.1-10 μW/m2.

It’s Time To Rethink 6G

It’s Time To Rethink 6G

It’s not more bandwidth that users need

by William Webb, spectrum.ieee.org, 10 Feb. 2025

Is the worldwide race
to keep expanding mobile bandwidth a fool’s errand? Could maximum data speeds—on mobile devices, at home, at work—be approaching “fast enough” for most people for most purposes?

These heretical questions are worth asking, because industry bandwidth tracking data has lately been revealing something surprising: Terrestrial and mobile-data growth is slowing down. In fact, absent a dramatic change in consumer tech and broadband usage patterns, data-rate demand appears set to top out below 1 billion bits per second (1 gigabit per second) in just a few years.

This is a big deal. A presumption of endless growth in wireless and terrestrial broadband data rates has for decades been a key driver behind telecom research funding. To keep telecom’s R&D engine rooms revving, research teams around the world have innovated a seemingly endless succession of technologies to expand bandwidth rates, such as 2G’s move to digital cell networks, 3G’s enhanced data-transfer capabilities, and 5G’s low-latency wireless connectivity.

United States: Restoring Local Control of Cell Tower Regulations

 USA: Restoring Local Control of Cell Tower Regulations

An Initiative to Protect Children’s Health by Restoring Local Control of Cell Towers and Antennas.

704NoMore – 20apr2025.

(USA) Section 704 undermines public health, environmental protections, and individual rights.

Our mission is to change that. Let’s protect children’s health and the environment by taking back local control of cell towers.

Section 704 and other FCC pre-emptive actions enforce the FCC’s outdated RF radiation guidelines, ignoring mounting evidence of harm, particularly to children. These laws and preemptive actions also strip away our personal freedoms and property rights, and override the states’ traditional police powers that protect our health and welfare.

Protecting children’s health means changing the way wireless infrastructure is regulated.

Our team, led by attorney W. Scott McCollough, brings decades of expertise to the fight for local control and public safety in the telecom space. We are dedicated to impactful strategic litigation and advocacy, and are determined to turn challenges into victories. – Learn More
