Rats exposed to 2.5 Ghz Wi-Fi radiation for 30, 45, or 60 days showed vascular congestion, DNA damage, perivascular congestion, and tissue damage in brain tissue.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers divided young male rats into four groups, with three groups exposed to 2.5 Ghz radiation for 30, 45, or 60 consecutive days. DNA damage was detected using agarose gel electrophoresis, and histomorphometry showed perivascular congestion and tissue damage.

Why This Matters

The researchers noted the rapid spread of Wi-Fi connected devices in developing countries and the need to evaluate their safety. The study aimed to investigate the injurious effects of radiofrequency emissions from installed Wi-Fi devices on the brains of young male rats.
