Mice showed no anxiety or depression from 2.45 GHz radiation exposure up to 120 days, though power levels weren't clearly specified.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed mice to 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation (the same frequency used by Bluetooth devices) for up to 120 days to see if it would cause anxiety, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, or depression. The study found no behavioral changes in the mice at any time point, suggesting this level of EMF exposure did not affect their mental state or behavior patterns.

Study Details

The present investigation was carried out with an objective to study the influence of high frequency electromagnetic field (HF-EMF) on anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression-like behavior.

For exposure to HF-EMF, non-magnetic material was used to fabricate the housing. Mice were exposed t...

The present experiment demonstrates that up to 120 days of exposure to HF-EMF does not produce anxie...
