Plain English Summary
Italian researchers exposed pregnant mice to WiFi signals (2.45 GHz) for 2 hours daily during pregnancy to study effects on birth outcomes and immune system development in offspring. They found no differences in pregnancy success, birth weight, or immune function (specifically B-cells that produce antibodies) when offspring were tested at 5 weeks and 26 weeks of age. This suggests that prenatal WiFi exposure at these levels may not significantly impact reproductive outcomes or immune system development.
Study Details
We examined the effects of prenatal (in utero) exposure to WiFi signals on pregnancy outcome and the immune B-cell compartment, including antibody production.
Sixteen mated (plug-positive) female mice were assigned to each of the following groups: cage contro...
No differences due to exposure were found in spleen cell number, B-cell frequency or antibody serum ...
In conclusion, our results do not show any effect on pregnancy outcome or any early or late effects on B-cell differentiation and function due to prenatal exposure to WiFi signals.
