Experimental Study of Animal Behavior under the Influence of the Electromagnetic Field of the 5G Mobile Communication Standard
This pilot animal study exposed mature male Wistar rats to 4.9 GHz electromagnetic fields described as 5G-standard, for 15 days (2 hours/day) in a semi-anechoic shielded chamber. Open-field testing found no clear behavioral differences between unmodulated and modulated exposures. Statistically significant behavioral changes occurred in both exposed and control animals, which the authors attribute to changes in the environmental electromagnetic background, making causal interpretation uncertain.
Key points
- Pilot experimental study in mature male Wistar rats examining behavioral effects of 5G-standard RF exposure.
- Exposure conditions were 4.9 GHz at 250 μW/cm2 for 15 days, 2 hours per day.
- Behavior was assessed using the open-field test before and after the exposure period.
- No clear behavioral differences were reported between unmodulated and modulated 5G fields.
- Behavioral changes were reported as statistically significant in both irradiated and control groups across the experiment.
- Authors suggest the semi-anechoic shielded chamber may have altered the natural electromagnetic background and influenced behavior.
