Experimental Study of Relationship between Biological Hazards of Low-Dose Radiofrequency Exposure and Energy Flow Density in Spirostomum Ambiguum Infusoria Exposed at a Mobile Connection Frequency (1 GHz)
Authors not listed · 2011
Radiofrequency exposure at 1 GHz with energy flow densities of 5 μW/cm(2) and 50 μW/cm(2) reduced motor activity in Spirostomum ambiguum, with safe exposure durations of 8-9 h and 10 min respectively.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed Spirostomum ambiguum infusoria to 1 GHz radiofrequency at energy flow densities of 5 μW/cm(2) and 50 μW/cm(2). Both exposure levels caused a reduction in motor activity that appeared in a jump-wise manner after a certain exposure duration and did not increase with longer exposure. The safe exposure duration was 8-9 h and 10 min at 5 and 50 μW, respectively.
Why This Matters
The authors describe the findings as innovation data showing harmful biological effects at very low radiofrequency exposure of 5 μW/cm(2). They note a threshold form of biological reaction, the presence of safe exposure periods, and a clear-cut relationship between those periods and energy flow density.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
