Repeated exposure of C3H/HeJ mice to ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses: Lack of effects on mammary tumors.

View Original AbstractUltra-wideband electromagnetic pulses at 40 kV/m showed no cancer-promoting effects in cancer-prone mice, even at levels far exceeding typical consumer exposure.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed 100 cancer-prone mice to ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses (extremely short bursts containing multiple frequencies) for 2 minutes weekly over 12 weeks, using field strengths of 40,000 volts per meter. The exposed mice showed no difference in mammary tumor development, growth rates, or survival compared to unexposed control mice. This study found no evidence that this type of pulsed electromagnetic exposure promotes cancer development in a well-established animal cancer model.
Study Details
In this study, we investigated the effects of exposure to a unique type of electromagnetic energy: pulses composed of an ultra-wideband (UWB) of frequencies, including those in the RF range.
One hundred C3H/HeJ mice were exposed to UWB pulses (rise time 176 ps, fall time 3.5 ns, pulse width...
There were no significant differences between groups with respect to incidence of palpated mammary t...
Our major finding was the lack of effects of UWB-pulse exposure on promotion of mammary tumors in a well-established animal model of mammary cancer.
