PubMed: RF-EMF health
Dec 26, 2025
This PubMed-listed study models how RF electromagnetic waves interact with a simplified three-layer tissue structure (skin–fat–muscle) across common ISM bands (433, 915, 2450, 5800 MHz), varying polarization (TE/TM), incidence angle, and fat thickness. Using a custom MATLAB pipeline combining multilayer…

Jan 1, 2022
This study assessed whether 915 MHz RF-EMF exposure alters oxidative stress and apoptosis markers in cardiac cells and mouse heart tissue. The authors report no statistically significant differences in apoptotic profile, antioxidant capacity, tissue integrity, or expression of apoptosis/antioxidant genes after…

Jan 1, 2020
This animal study examined whether anesthesia and body mass modify body temperature responses to 915 MHz RF exposure at 4 W/kg whole-body SAR for 8 hours. Non-anesthetized, free-moving rats showed no significant temperature change during exposure. In contrast, anesthetized rats showed marked temperature increases,…

Jan 1, 2020
This in vitro study exposed V79 cells to 915 MHz GSM-modulated RF radiation for 1–3 hours at 10–30 V/m (average SARs reported as 0.23–1.6 W/kg). The authors report that 3-hour exposure altered microtubule structure across all tested field strengths and reduced cell growth on the third post-exposure day. They conclude…

This animal study examined whether RF-EMF from cellular phones affects electrocardiograms in guinea pigs. Thirty guinea pigs were randomized to control (no exposure) or RF-EMF exposure (890–915 MHz; SAR 0.95 W/kg) for 12 hours per day over 30 days. The study reports no significant effects on ECG findings under these…

Jan 1, 2011
This animal study assessed DNA damage in rat brain, liver, and kidney cells after repeated whole-body exposure to 915 MHz GSM-modulated RF radiation (SAR 0.6 W/kg) using the comet assay. Tail length was slightly increased in brain cells and differed more notably in liver and kidney samples versus sham controls, while…

Jan 1, 2011
This engineering paper describes a system implementation for interoperation between a 915 MHz UHF RFID reader and a TCP/IP gateway device. The architecture uses wired communication between the TCP/IP device and RFID reader, and wireless ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) links to an end-device/coordinator. Web-based tests are…
In vitro tests reveal sample radiofrequency identification readers inducing clinically significant electromagnetic interference to implantable pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

Jan 1, 2010
This in vitro study tested electromagnetic compatibility between passive RFID readers and 15 pacemakers plus 15 ICDs across 134 kHz, 13.56 MHz, and 915 MHz bands. EMI reactions were common with low-frequency RFID and rare with high-frequency RFID, while no reactions were observed with ultra-high-frequency or…
