Investigation of fetal exposure to electromagnetic waves between 2.45 and 5 GHz during pregnancy

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This dosimetry study simulated fetal RF-EMF exposure between 2.45 and 5 GHz during the second trimester, estimating SAR10g in fetal brain and lungs. The presence of a belly-button piercing increased SAR, with maxima reported at 2.45 GHz (16 mW/kg in lungs; 14 mW/kg in brain). Despite these increases, all SAR values were reported to remain below IEEE and ICNIRP limits, while the authors note a precautionary implication regarding metal objects during pregnancy.
