View Original AbstractThis modeling study confirms 900 MHz cell phone frequencies don't cause brain heating at research exposure levels, supporting non-thermal biological mechanisms.
Plain English Summary
Researchers used computer modeling to calculate how much radiofrequency energy would be absorbed by rat brains during a 900 MHz cell phone frequency exposure experiment. They found that the exposure levels used in their memory study would not cause any significant temperature rise in the brain tissue. This dosimetry study provided the technical foundation for understanding whether any biological effects found in their related memory research could be attributed to heating or non-thermal mechanisms.
Study Details
In the study for the effect of 900 MHz EMF exposure on learning and memory in SD rats, the specific absorption rate (SAR) and the temperature rise in the rat head are numerically evaluated.
The digital anatomical model of a SD rat is reconstructed with the MRI images. Numerical method as f...
It reveals that during the given exposure experiment setup, no significant temperature rise occurs. ...
