The effects of a 1.8 GHz continuous electromagnetic fields on mucociliary transport of human nasal mucosa.

Objectives/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 1.8 GHz continuous electromagnetic fields (EMF) on human nasal mucociliary transport, and to determine the pathophysiology of ciliary beat frequency (CBF) during an EMF-induced change.

Methods: Human nasal mucosa cells were exposed to a 1.
