Note: This small pilot study which reports demonstrable changes in red blood cells (RBC) after short-term exposure to smart phone radiation has not been peer-reviewed. Moreover, "The authors of this study wish to keep their names and affiliations confidential."
The report was published online by the Weston A. Price Foundation, the organization which partially funded the study.

Results show substantial changes in the blood from short-term cell phone radiation exposure in nine out of ten human subjects. RBC aggregation and stickiness were mainly observed following 45 minutes of exposure to a smart phone in receiving mode worn by subjects in a backpack. By contrast, RBC morphological (shape) changes including the formation of echinocytes (spiky cells) were dominant after subjects actively used the phone for an additional 45 minutes. It appears that RBC stickiness with clumping is the first stage of the cell phone radiation effect. Subsequently, the RBC aggregates tend to break apart, and then cell shape changes occur, in which echinocytes and other misshapen cells are observed. Not all subjects showed both types of changes. The difference in net RBC aggregates between the carrying and the active use conditions are not significant for this small sample, as indicated by the overlap in the error bar values in Figure 15. However, the differences in RBC shape changes between the carrying and the active use conditions appear to be significant.

Does Short-term Exposure to Cell Phone Radiation Affect the Blood?
