Exposure details   Effects of 900MHz electromagnetic field on TSH and thyroid hormones in rats. by Koyu A, Cesur G, Özgüner F, Akdogan M, Mollaoglu H, Ozen S published in: Toxicol Lett 2005; 157 (3): 257 - 262 Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: 900 MHz type of field: electromagnetic field Modulation type of modulation: continuous wave (CW) Exposure setup exposure source/structure: dipole, RF generator exposure time pattern: repeated daily exposure, 30 min/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks chamber details: A special exposure device with five exposure antennas was used. One exposure system consisted of a ventilated round plastic tube cage (12 cm long x 5.5 cm in diameter) and a half-wave dipole antenna. setup details: The whole body of the rat was positioned in close contact above the antenna. add. information: Rats were allocated to three groups: exposed to EMF, sham-exposed, and control (without stress and EMF). Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: remark: power flux density  1 mW/cm²  mean value  measured  ± 0.4 mW/cm²  SAR  2 W/kg  peak value  -  -  measurement and calculation details: Power density measurements were made using an EMF meter. Return to general data Glossary: antenna, CW, dipole, dipole antenna, EMF, exposed, exposure, mean value, MHz, power density, rat, RF, SAR, sham-exposed, stress
