Exposure details   Mobile phone exposure does not induce apoptosis on spermatogenesis in rats. by Dasdag S, Akdag Z, Ulukaya E, Uzunlar AK, Yegin D published in: Arch Med Res 2008; 39 (1): 40 - 44 Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: 900 MHz type of field: electromagnetic field Modulation type of modulation: pulsed (PW) pulse width: 577 µs pulse repetition rate: 217 Hz Exposure setup exposure source/structure: antenna connected to a GSM simulator distance between exposed object and exposure source: 1 cm exposure time pattern: repeated daily exposure, 2 h/day, for 10 months setup details: Rats were exposed on a carousel restrained in ventilated cone-headed Plexiglas tubes (about 18 cm long and 6.4 cm in diameter) with their noses at 1 cm from the central antenna. sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: remark: power  2 W  peak value  -  -  electric field strength  25.73 V/m  -  measured  9.48-25.73 V/m  power flux density  0.149 mW/cm²  mean value  measured  0.012-0.149 mW/cm²  SAR  0.57 W/kg  -  calculated  0.07-0.57 W/kg  measurement and calculation details: Power density and electrical field around the testes were measured using a radiation meter. SAR was approximated by σ/ρ*E²rms. The values for σ and ρ were based on [Peyman et al., 2001]. Reference article Peyman A et al. (2001): Changes in the dielectric properties of rat tissue as a function of age at...
