3G mobile phone radiation at typical usage levels showed no measurable impact on basic visual perception in healthy adults.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed 58 healthy adults to UMTS (3G) mobile phone signals at levels similar to actual phone use and tested whether this affected their visual perception through four different eye tests. They found no measurable differences in visual performance between exposure to the radio frequency signals and fake (sham) exposure. This suggests that 3G mobile phone radiation at typical usage levels does not impair basic visual processing abilities.

Study Details

In this study, possible effects of exposure to a generic 1.97 GHz UMTS-like signal on human visual perception were investigated in a double blinded, crossover study including 58 healthy volunteer subjects (29 male, 29 female), aged 29 +/- 5.1 years (mean +/- SD).

Each test subject underwent a battery of four different clinical tests three times (two different ex...

Statistical evaluation of the obtained test results revealed no statistically significant difference...
