View Original AbstractThis study found no immune or reproductive effects from month-long microwave exposure at levels below typical cell phone use.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed pregnant rats to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (the same frequency used in microwave ovens and WiFi) for 7 hours daily over 30 days to test whether this exposure affects immune function or causes birth defects. They found no effects on immune system markers or fetal development at the power levels tested. This study was designed to confirm earlier Russian and Ukrainian research that had suggested potential harmful effects.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate A confirmation study of Russian and Ukrainian data on effects of 2450 MHz microwave exposure on immunological processes and teratology in rats.
In our study, a new system was constructed to expose free-moving rats under far-field conditions. Wh...
All results, using ELISA and classic teratology end points, were negative in our laboratory.
we conclude that, under these exposure conditions (2450 MHz, CW, 7h/day, 30 days, 0.16 W/kg whole-body SAR), RF-radiation exposure had no influence on several immune and degenerative parameters or on prenatal development.
