View Original AbstractTETRA radio signals at cell tower-level exposures showed no measurable effects on brain function or physical responses, even in electromagnetically sensitive individuals.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether TETRA radio signals (used by emergency services) affect brain function and physical responses in 183 people, including 51 who reported being sensitive to electromagnetic fields. Participants were exposed to 420 MHz signals at levels similar to living near a cell tower while performing memory and attention tests. The study found no differences in cognitive performance or physical responses between real exposure and fake exposure in either group.
Study Details
The present study is the first to examine whether acute exposure to a TETRA base station signal has an impact on cognitive functioning and physiological response.
Participants were exposed to a 420 MHz TETRA signal at a power flux density of 10 mW/m(2) as well as...
We observed no differences in cognitive performance between sham and TETRA exposure in either group;...
These findings are similar to previous double-blind studies with other mobile phone signals (900-2100 MHz), which could not establish any clear evidence that mobile phone signals affect health or cognitive function.
