Mobile Phone Radiation

We examined whether exposures to mobile phone radiation in biological/clinical experiments should be performed with real-life Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) emitted by commercially available mobile phone handsets, instead of simulated EMFs emitted by generators or test phones. Real mobile phone emissions are constantly and unpredictably varying and thus are very different from simulated emissions which employ fixed parameters and no variability. This variability is an important parameter that makes real emissions more bioactive. Living organisms seem to have decreased defense against environmental stressors of high variability. While experimental studies employing simulated EMF-emissions present a strong inconsistency among their results with less than 50% of them reporting effects, studies employing real mobile phone exposures demonstrate an almost 100% consistency in showing adverse effects. This consistency is in agreement with studies showing association with brain tumors, symptoms of unwellness, and declines in animal populations. Average dosimetry in studies with real emissions can be reliable with increased number of field measurements, and variation in experimental outcomes due to exposure variability becomes less significant with increased number of experimental replications. We conclude that, in order for experimental findings to reflect reality, it is crucially important that exposures be performed by commercially available mobile phone handsets.

Mobile Phone Radiation

The mobile communication technology, although integral to our everyday life, has been accounted to suffer negative impacts on the living body via two effects, thermal and non-thermal. The aims of this study were to assess the thermal effects by using Infra-red camera techniques and thermographic analysis and to find out how much electromagnetic fields from mobile phones contribute to increase the skin temperature due to thermal effects from chronic exposure to Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) mobile phone radiation. Eighty female Sprague Dawley rats were employed throughout the experiment, and the animals were dealt into four groups, control, 15, 30 and 60 days respectively (n=20) for 1h/day whole body expo-sure at SAR levels of 0.048 W/Kg. GSM-like signals at a frequency of 1800 MHz were provided by a signal generator. Thermographic analysis was done by using FLIR Tool software to estimate the changes in skin temperature in different regions of the physical structure. Statistical analysis shows signifi-cant changes in skin temperature between unexposed and exposed groups for 15 and 30 days of exposure (P< 0.001). While the skin temperature of 60 days exposure group remained consistent with unexposed group values. Our data suggest that mobile phone radiation at frequency 1800 MHz has a ther-mal effect represented by skin temperature rises in the whole body. The infra-red image analysis results are anticipated to help change mobile phone users' behavior to minimize the negative effects of mobile phone radiation.
