Absence of nonlinear responses in cells and tissues exposed to RF energy at mobile phone frequencies using a doubly resonant cavity
This work is funded by the UK government's ‘Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research’ programme (£255k), involving simulation and undertaking of a crucial experiment to determine whether radiation from mobile phones has a non-thermal interaction with human tissue. The project brought together a national and international research team including the University of Maryland (USA) (Prof Q. Balzano) and Public Health England (Dr Simon Bouffler). The outcomes led to the award of an EPSRC grant (EP/E022936/1, £160k), aiming to design low SAR-balanced antennas for mobile handsets.
