The effects of long-term prenatal exposure to 900, 1800, and 2100 MHz electromagnetic field radiation on myocardial tissue of rats
Authors not listed · 2023
The 2100 MHz EMF-24h group showed greater myocardial damage, higher MDA, and lower GSH levels than other exposure groups.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed pregnant rats to 900, 1800, and 2100 MHz EMF radiation for 6, 12, or 24 hours per day over 20 days. After birth, six male pups per group were randomly selected for histopathological and biochemical analysis of myocardial tissue. Myocardial damage was greatest in the 2100 MHz 24-hour group, which also had higher MDA and lower GSH levels. At 1800 MHz, the 24-hour exposure group showed greater damage, higher MDA, and lower GSH compared to shorter durations. The authors concluded that myocardial tissue is more affected by long-term high-frequency EMF exposure and raised concerns about 5G technology.
Why This Matters
The researchers stated that they evaluated the effects of long-term prenatal EMF exposure on rat myocardium at varying durations. The study began by noting that wireless communication technologies are widespread but the harmful effects of EMF radiation should not be ignored. Eighteen pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups with three rats each.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
