Exposure details   Ginkgo biloba prevents mobile phone-induced oxidative stress in rat brain. by Ilhan A, Gurel A, Armutcu F, Kamisli S, Iraz M, Akyol O, Ozen S published in: Clin Chim Acta 2004; 340 (1-2): 153 - 162 Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: 900 MHz type of field: electromagnetic field field characteristics: near field Modulation type of modulation: continuous wave (CW) Exposure setup exposure source/structure: anechoic chamber, cellular phone exposure time pattern: repeated daily exposure, 1 h/day for 7 days chamber details: The exposure system was based on the reference article with some modifications. It consisted of six round ventilated tubes mounted circularly and two (?) mobile phones in the middle on top of them. setup details: Rats were confined in the tubes with their heads directed towards the antennas of the mobile phones. Mobile phones were activated by calling each other. add. information: Rats were divided into four exposure groups: EMR, EMR + Gb (Gingko biloba), Gb only, and controls. Control and Gb only groups were subjected to the same conditions except that the mobile phones were turned off. Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: averaging mass: remark: SAR  2 W/kg  max value  -  peak SAR of the brain  SAR  0.25 W/kg  average over mass  whole body  -  Reference article Tsurita G et al.
