CDMA phone radiation showed no immediate effects on heart rate or breathing in people claiming electromagnetic sensitivity during controlled 30-minute exposures.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed 18 people who claimed electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and 19 healthy controls to both real and fake cell phone radiation from a CDMA phone for 30 minutes each. They measured heart rate, breathing rate, and heart rate variability to see if the radiation caused physical changes. The study found no measurable differences in any of these body functions between real and fake exposure in either group.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to investigate Physiological effects of RF exposure on hypersensitive people by a cell phone.

In this study, two volunteer groups of 18 self-declared EHS and 19 controls were exposed to both sha...

In conclusion, the RF exposure by a CDMA cellular phone did not have any effects on the physiological parameters for both groups.
