この論文は、学術誌の特集に掲載されたものであり、携帯電話電磁界へのばく露に関する生物学的および健康への影響を解説している。内容について、最も重要な実験的、臨床的、統計的な知見を簡単にレビューする;特に、モデル生物学的システムでの細胞の死滅の誘導に関する一連の実験について、以下のように広範に情報を提供する;携帯電話電磁放射は、数分間/日でのわずか数日間のばく露で、昆虫の繁殖を有意に、非熱的に、最大60 %低下させることが示されている;この影響は、生殖腺のDNA断片化によるものであり、等しい条件下において強度が高いGSMの方が、DCSよりも生物への作用が大きいことが示されている;生殖能力の低下は、電磁界強度に非線形に依存するように見え、200 μW/ cm2を超えると一つのピークが見られる他に、約10 μW/ cm2付近の強度の「窓」で最大値を示すようである;最後に、この論文では、携帯電話電磁放射生物に及ぼす記録された影響を説明できる、もっともらしい生物物理学的および生化学的メカニズムについて説明する、と概説している。

研究目的(著者による)

This article consists of a review of biological, clinical and epidemiological data and an experimental study. In the following only the experimental study is presented.
To study the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic irradiation at 900 MHz (emitted by GSM mobile phones) and at 1800 MHz (emitted by DCS mobile phones) on reproductive capacity of the insect Drosophila melanogaster and the dependency of the effect of different electromagnetic field parameters (e.g. intensity, carrier frequency, distance from antenna).

詳細情報

There were six sets of experiments: 1) GSM 900 MHz exposure in non-speaking mode (non-modulated), 2) mobile phone exposure in speaking mode (modulated emission, GSM), 3) investigation of effects of the mobile phone GSM signal on the reproductive capacity of each sex separately, 4) comparison of bioactivity between GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1800 MHz, 5) exposure of insects at different distances (0-100 cm), both types of exposure, 6) effects on DNA fragmentation (cell death) in the ovarian cells. In each experiment different exposed and sham exposed groups were used.
Each group consisted of ten female and ten male newly emerged flies kept in separate vials for the first 48 h. After the 48 h, when both males and females of each group were sexually mature, they were put together (10 pairs) in another glass vial and they were allowed to mate and lay eggs for the next 72 h.
For cell death investigation ovarioles were investigated (background information about ovarioles, see Panagopoulos 2007b).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

A few minutes of daily mobile phone exposure for only a few days significantly decreased the insect reproduction by up to 60% (experiment 2 with the modulated field). Both sexes were found to be affected, but females were more affected than the males. The effect was due to DNA fragmentation in the gonads caused by both types of digital mobile phone radiation (GSM 900 MHz and DCS 1800 MHz).
GSM exposure was more bioactive than DCS exposure, due to its higher intensity under equal conditions. The decrease in reproductive capacity seemed to be non-linearly depended on irradiation intensity, exhibiting a peak for intensities higher than 200 µW/cm² and a window effect around µ10W/cm². This intensity "window" appeared at a distance of 20-30 cm from the mobile phone antenna.
