This rat study examined acute (1-week) and chronic (10-week) exposure to 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation (3G UMTS-like) and assessed auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) alongside biochemical and histological brain measures. The abstract reports that acute exposure was associated with reduced MMN-related…

This exposure-assessment study evaluated temporal variability of RF-EMF levels from GSM/DCS/UMTS networks using continuous personal exposimeter logging. It proposes an integral-based measure (accumulated energy density from instantaneous power density) alongside 24 h time-averaging to reduce variability in daily…

This in vitro study used proteome-wide semi-quantitative mass spectrometry to assess molecular changes after short-term exposure to ELF (50 Hz), UMTS (2.1 GHz), and WiFi (5.8 GHz) in human and mouse cell types. The authors report that fewer than 1% of quantified proteins changed slightly in abundance and that…

This study assessed and compared total RF-EMF exposure for a mobile-phone user in an office environment when connected to an indoor femtocell base station versus a conventional macrocell base station. Using a framework that combines near-field and far-field exposure, the authors report a 20–40× reduction in total…
No influence of acute RF exposure (GSM-900, GSM-1800, and UMTS) on mouse retinal ganglion cell responses under constant temperature conditions.

Jan 1, 2014
This double-blind in vitro study exposed isolated mouse retinae to GSM-900, GSM-1800, and UMTS RF-EMF at SARs up to 20 W/kg while maintaining constant temperature. Changes in retinal ganglion cell responses to light stimuli were compared before, during, and up to 35 minutes after exposure. The authors report no…
