[Évaluation des effets co-génotoxiques d'une exposition radiofréquence à 1800 MHz de type GSM et d'un agent mutagène dans des cellules humaines en culture]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 11 (2010) no. 9-10, pp. 613-621.

Nous avons étudié l'effet combiné des radiofréquences à 1800 MHz (GSM) et d'un agent mutagène connu (4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide : 4NQO) sur des cellules THP1 humaines. L'état de l'ADN a été examiné avec les tests des comètes et γ-H2AX. Les mesures de température indiquent une absence d'échauffement des cultures pendant l'exposition (2 h). Les résultats montrent que les dommages induits par le 4NQO restent inchangés sous l'effet des radiofréquences pour des SAR de 2 à 16 W/kg alors qu'une élévation de température de 4 °C induit une augmentation de ces cassures d'ADN. En conclusion, aucun effet co-génotoxique n'est observé à des niveaux non thermiques.

We investigated the effect of a 1800 MHz radiofrequency GSM signal combined with a known chemical mutagen (4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide: 4NQO) on human THP1 cells. Comet and γ-H2AX assays were used to assess DNA damage. No heating of the cell cultures was noted during exposure (2 h). The exposure of cells to electromagnetic fields with SARs of 2 to 16 W/kg did not increase the DNA damage induced by 4NQO, whereas the number of DNA strand breaks increased with a temperature increase of at least 4 °C. In conclusion, no co-genotoxic effect of radiofrequency was found at levels of exposure that did not induce heating.
