THE FENTON REACTION
This is a reaction between iron (present in body tissues, especially the brain) and hydrogen peroxide (a product of oxidation, high in tissues with many active mitochondria) to make highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. This is believed by some to be an explanation for the particular tissues most sensitive to free radical DNA damage from EMF (with its effect on iron and magnetite) and carcinogenesis.

"There is no consistent pattern that radiofrequency radiation exposure could induce genetic damages/changes in cells and organisms. However, one can conclude that under certain conditions of exposure, radiofrequency radiation is genotoxic....critical genetic mutations in one single cell are sufficient to lead to cancer..."

DIFFICULTY ASSESSING DNA EFFECTS
Molecules are small
Effects appear to be nonlinear
There are few experts in assessment techniques
Descriptions of experimental protocols are often poor
Very small changes may be highly significant
