Several research papers in the sources report that EMF exposure raises peroxynitrite levels, mostly in lab or microwave studies, so the claim has some literature support.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… that you take in, that phycocyanin, which is about 20% of spirulina by weight, that phycocyanin itself can neutralize the most dangerous DNA-damaging free radicals known to exist in biochemistry. And one of those categories is called the peroxynitrite, and peroxynitrite is produced when you are exposed to 5G or high-voltage power lines or EMFs or your mobile phone, whatever. Peroxynitrite can cause single-strand breaks of your genetic code, which can lead to double-strand breaks, which is the worst kind of error, can be a fatal error for that cell. …
The Health Ranger Report · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Full Fact states that 5G has not been shown to be harmful and that non-ionising radiation does not damage DNA, which contradicts the passage's implied harm link, though it does not directly address peroxynitrite production.[1]
Supports. Several papers report that EMF exposure increases peroxynitrite, measured as elevated 3-nitrotyrosine, though these studies are mostly microwave or 35 GHz exposures and the evidence is described as contested.[2][3][5][6][7]
Supports. A 2025 review and a related paper state that man-made EMFs at non-thermal levels trigger reactive oxygen species and that peroxynitrite can form from superoxide and nitric oxide, which can cause DNA strand breaks.[4][8]
Context. The ITU states that no adverse health effect has been causally linked to wireless exposure, and that current RF exposure levels produce negligible temperature rise.[9]
Context. No source directly measures peroxynitrite production from 5G, power lines, or mobile phones in humans. The power-line claim rests on extremely-low-frequency work that the sources treat only indirectly.[2][8]
