View Original AbstractLong-term cell phone radiation exposure during brain development showed no cognitive effects in rats, even at levels five times higher than phone safety limits.
Plain English Summary
German researchers exposed young rats to cell phone radiation (900 MHz) for nearly their entire lives, testing their learning and memory abilities at different ages. Despite using radiation levels up to 10 W/kg (much higher than typical phone exposure), they found no significant effects on behavior, memory, or brain development. This long-term study suggests that chronic cell phone radiation exposure starting in early development may not impair cognitive function.
Study Details
To investigate possible long-term effects of electromagnetic fields (GSM 900 MHz) on the developing rat brain.
Female Wistar rats, from an age of 14 days to 19 months, were exposed in the head region for 2 h per...
In these tests, no profound differences could be identified between the groups. Only presenile rats ...
The results of this study do not indicate harmful effects of long-term RF-EMF exposure even when begun at an early age on subsequent development, learning skills and behavior in rats, even at relatively high SAR values.
