View Original AbstractThis study found minimal immune system effects from WiFi-like radiation in developing mice, even at high exposure levels.
Plain English Summary
Italian researchers exposed newborn mice to WiFi-like signals (2.45 GHz) for 5 weeks during early development to see if young immune systems are more vulnerable to wireless radiation. They found essentially no effects on immune system development at either low (0.08 W/kg) or high (4 W/kg) exposure levels, with only one minor change in male mice at the higher level. The study suggests that developing immune systems may not be as sensitive to WiFi radiation as some have theorized.
Study Details
Is the developing immune system more susceptible to the effects of RF exposure? To address this question, newborn mice were exposed to WiFi signals at constant specific absorption rates (SAR) of 0.08 or 4 W/kg, 2 h/day, 5 days/week, for 5 consecutive weeks, starting the day after birth.
The experiments were performed with a blind procedure using sham-exposed groups as controls. No diff...
For the immunological analyses, results on female and male newborn mice exposed during early post-na...
Altogether our findings do not support the hypothesis that early post-natal life exposure to WiFi signals induces detrimental effects on the developing immune system.
