Changes in the dielectric properties of rat tissue as a function of age at microwave frequencies.

View Original AbstractThe study found a general decrease in dielectric properties of rat tissues with age.
Plain English Summary
Researchers measured dielectric properties of ten rat tissues at six ages from 130 MHz to 10 GHz. Results showed a general decrease in dielectric properties with age. The decrease was more apparent in brain, skull, and skin tissues than in abdominal tissues. The variation was attributed to changes in water content and organic composition.
Why This Matters
The study aimed to investigate changes in dielectric properties of rat tissue as a function of age at microwave frequencies. Percentage decreases for certain tissues in 30 to 70 day old rats at cellular phone frequencies were tabulated. The data provide important input for rigorous dosimetry in lifetime-exposure animal experiments. Results also give insight into possible differences in exposure assessment for children.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 130 MHz to 10 GHz
