Investigating the Effects of RF-EMF Exposure on Human Skin and Eyes

ETAIN investigates the long-term health effects of technology radiation exposure by examining temperature changes due to exposure and potential disruptions in thermoregulation at the cellular level.

Why focusing on skin and eyes?

These organs are key biological targets due to their exposure to tissue heating from dielectric relaxation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and changes in gene expression. ETAIN’s study is:

Monitors in real-time impacts on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the DNA damage response in living human skin cells.

Assesses cellular function by evaluating processes like apoptosis, changes to the extracellular matrix, and inflammation.

Leverages advanced technologies like transcriptomics and metabolomics to map RF-EMF effects in 3D human skin models.

Through this study, ETAIN aims at determining whether causal links exist between RF-EMF exposure and adverse effects on the skin and eyes, specifically in relation to oxidative stress.

Additionally, the study extends to insects, particularly Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies), to assess the impact of RF-EMF on insect health.
