"DNA is a fractal antenna in electromagnetic fields": http://sci-hub.tw/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21457072 by Martin Blank & Reba Goodman.
The wide frequency range of interaction with EMF is the functional characteristic of a fractal antenna, and DNA appears to possess the two structural characteristics of fractal antennas, electronic conduction and self symmetry. These properties contribute to greater reactivity of DNA with EMF in the environment, and the DNA damage could account for increases in cancer epidemiology, as well as variations in the rate of chemical evolution in early geologic history.

Statement by Elizabeth Kelley, Executive Director of Electromagnetic Safety Alliance:
https://emsafetyalliance.org/index.php/emf-health-safety
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) and Electromagnetic Radiation pose serious health threats to man and nature, and endangers planetary health. Artificial human-made electromagnetic fields were first introduced on planet Earth in the mid 19th Century when man started harnessing energy for electricity and wireless applications. All living organisms have evolved in natural background radiation.

Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may have adverse effects on the development of memory performance of specific brain regions exposed during mobile phone use. These are the findings of a study involving nearly 700 adolescents in Switzerland. The investigation, led by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), will be published on Monday, 23 July 2018 in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
