Wi‑Fi and phone radiation does not alter teen DNA
Question asked:
“A radiação emitida pelas redes de Wi‑Fi e telemóveis altera diretamente o DNA dos adolescentes.”
Summary
Non‑ionizing radiofrequency radiation from Wi‑Fi and mobile phones lacks the energy to break chemical bonds or directly damage DNA. Authoritative health agencies state that such radiation can cause heating but does not alter DNA structure, and current scientific studies have not demonstrated direct DNA damage in humans, including adolescents.

RF energy is a type of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing radiation is not strong enough to directly affect the structure of atoms or damage DNA; however, it does cause atoms to vibrate, which can cause them to heat up.

- Cell Phones and Cancer Risk Fact Sheet - NCI
Cell phones emit radiation in the radiofrequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Second-, third-, and fourth-generation cell phones (2G, 3G, 4G) emit radiofrequency in the frequency range of 0.7–2.7 GHz. Fifth-generation (5G) cell phones are anticipated to use the frequency spectrum up to 80 GHz. These frequencies all fall in the nonionizing range of the spectrum, which is low frequency and low energy. The energy is too low to damage DNA.

However the increase of the DNA damage in rat testes tissue was significant (p < 0.01). In conclusion, long-term exposure to 2.4 GHz RF radiation (Wi-Fi) does not cause DNA damage of the organs investigated in this study except testes.
