# ECO-005 — Fly reproduction and exposure intensity windows

Why this matters
The reported effects concern fly reproduction, a meaningful outcome for an organism, rather than a cell marker alone. Main-study methods still need checking. A published correction fixes figure labels and must accompany the paper; it does not by itself establish or invalidate the reported reproductive effect.

Title: Bioeffects of mobile telephony radiation in relation to its intensity or distance from the antenna

Journal: international journal of radiation biology

Citation: Panagopoulos DJ, Chavdoula ED, Margaritis LH. Bioeffects of mobile telephony radiation in relation to its intensity or distance from the antenna. International Journal of Radiation Biology. 2010;86(5):345-357. doi:10.3109/09553000903567961.

Pmid: 20397839

Topic: Environmental effects

Verification Group: Original abstract verified

Record Role: Original abstract verified

Featured: False

Exposure: See original source for calibrated field and modulation conditions.

Design: Observational or experimental ecology; original methods pending.

Finding: Discovery dossier reports reduced reproduction and gonadal cell death across selected handset-exposure conditions.

Boundary: A retrieval entry, not a verified ecological causal conclusion.

Related: Athens Panagopoulos/Chavdoula/Margaritis programme. Companion intensity-window paper 10.3109/09553000903567979 is related research and has a separate September 2010 erratum; do not conflate notices.

Protection Question: Do the original exposure conditions and analyses support the reported fly reproductive effects? Methods remain to be checked, and the figure-label correction belongs with any interpretation of this retrieval lead.

Access: Original PubMed abstract and complete publisher erratum reviewed; full main-study methods still outstanding.

Locator: Original abstract; erratum p612/Figure 5 c.

Notice: Publisher erratum 1July 2010, DOI10.3109/09553002.2010.497612, corrects incompletely labelled Figure 5 c; original online figure corrected. This is a figure-label correction,not a retraction.
