A logarithmic frequency spectrum from 10 Hz to 100 GHz showing where this study's 12 GHz - 18 GHz exposure sits relative to common EMF sources.Where This Frequency Sits on the EMF SpectrumELFVLFLF / MFHF / VHFUHFSHFmm10 Hz100 GHzThis study: 12 GHz - 18 GHzPower lines50/60 HzCell phones~1 GHzWiFi2.4 GHzLogarithmic scale

Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 8-12 GHz and 12.5-18 GHz

Study Details

To delineate the effect of chronic electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from radar on plasma melatonin and serotonin levels in occupationally exposed military personnel.

A total of 166 male military personnel participated in the study out of which only 155 joined for bl...

The group I exposed population registered a minor though not significant decrease in plasma melatoni...

The study showed the EMF ability to influence plasma melatonin and serotonin concentration in radar workers, significantly in 12.5-18 GHz range with service period greater than 10 years.
