Effect of Short-Term Mobile Phone Base Station Exposure on Cognitive Performance, Body Temperature, Heart Rate and Blood Pressure of Malaysians

View Original AbstractShort-term cell tower exposure at 1 V/m showed no immediate effects on cognitive performance or vital signs in 200 Malaysian subjects.
Plain English Summary
Malaysian researchers exposed 200 people (half claiming electromagnetic sensitivity) to cell tower signals at 1 volt per meter for short periods and measured cognitive performance, body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. They found no statistically significant differences between real exposure and fake exposure in either sensitive or non-sensitive individuals. This suggests that brief exposure to typical cell tower radiation levels doesn't immediately affect these basic body functions or mental performance.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to clarify whether short-term exposure at 1 V/m to the typical Global System for Mobile Communication and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) affects cognitive performance and physiological parameters (body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate).
This study applies counterbalanced randomizing single blind tests to determine if sensitive individu...
Generally, in both groups, there is no statistical significant difference between the exposure and s...
