View Original AbstractThe study found no significant histopathological changes in rat brains after long-term GSM-900 exposure.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 32 rats to GSM-900 radiation once weekly for two hours over 55 weeks at average whole-body SAR values of 0.6 and 60 mW/kg. Sixteen rats were sham exposed and eight served as cage controls. After behavioral tests conducted 5–7 weeks after the last exposure, the brains were examined for albumin extravasation, dark neurons, lipofuscin aggregation, and neuronal cytoskeletal changes, but no significant alterations were detected.
Why This Matters
The investigation focused on histopathological examinations of rat brains following long-term GSM-900 mobile phone radiation exposure. Exposures were conducted in a transverse electromagnetic transmission line chamber using a GSM-900 test phone.
