Mobile Phone Radiation & Blood Clumping: A Wake-Up Call from Science
At SLT, we’re passionate about empowering you with the latest science so you can create healthier spaces for yourself and your loved ones. We’d like to dig deeper into a new peer-reviewed study that sheds light on the biological effects of everyday wireless technology.
New Research: Just 5 Minutes of Exposure Can Alter Blood Cells
A recent study published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine revealed that five minutes of exposure to a mobile phone — even when the phone was not actively in use — caused blood cells to form unusual clumps, known as rouleaux formation, in a healthy individual. This occurred whether the phone was in direct contact with the body or positioned just one inch away.
Why This Matters
Rouleaux formation increases blood viscosity, which may hinder oxygen delivery and blood flow. Over time, this could contribute to conditions such as:
· Hypertension (high blood pressure)
· Obesity
· Diabetes
· Stroke
Dr. Robert Brown, the study’s lead author, notes:
“This finding of clumping in the blood after only five minutes of direct cellphone exposure should give pause to all who keep phones close to their bodies.”
The study’s most striking finding? These effects occurred deep within the leg veins — not just at the surface — suggesting that wireless radiation may penetrate further into the body than current safety guidelines account for.
A Growing Body of Evidence
This study aligns with other scientific findings suggesting that non-thermal exposure to EMFs (electromagnetic fields) may contribute to:
· Oxidative stress
· DNA damage
· Changes in brain activity
· Poorer sleep quality
While more research is needed, the consistency of these observations underscores the need for a fresh look at how we interact with technology.

What You Can Do: Practical Steps for EMF Awareness
At SLT, we believe in proactive, practical solutions. Here are simple ways to reduce exposure:
Keep distance: Use speakerphone or air-tube headsets. Avoid carrying phones in your pocket or bra.
Turn off wireless features: Switch off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when not needed.
Create tech-free zones: Especially in bedrooms, where rest and recovery happen.
Explore shielding solutions: Consider EMF-protective fabrics and technologies designed to reduce your exposure.
