“The radical-pair mechanism of magnetoreception, likely provided by cryptochrome-4, is not the sole basis for magnetosensitive receptor cells in animals that use the geomagnetic field for orientation during migration.”

From Russia 🇷🇺.

New report from ANSES 🇫🇷 sees “limited evidence” that RF from cell phones affects cellular mechanisms and animals, while epi studies provide no convincing evidence of cancer in humans. The agency concludes that no causal link could be established between RF and cancer.

Evidence reveals #RF exposures may be genotoxic and could pose a cancer risk. Exposure duration & real-world signals are most important factors influencing genotoxicity, warranting further research to address. We support precautionary measures.

No effect of 2.4 & 5.8 GHz #RF on flower visitation rates by honey bees. But there was a “significant reduction” in visits by bumble bees when the plants were exposed to the RF.
