Researchers reviewed radiofrequency radiation studies through 1982 and found a clear threshold for harmful effects at 2 watts per kilogram (W/kg) of body weight. Above this level, animals experienced severe health problems including death, dangerous temperature increases, and tissue damage. Below this threshold, effects were primarily temperature-related or involved changes to brain chemistry.
