Summary:

The aim of this animal study was to investigate whether exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields can cause behavioural changes. Mice were exposed to a 2.45 Gigahertz (GHz) RF field at 10-100 milliwatts for 60 min/day, up to 120 days. After the exposure, mice were assessed for anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression-like behaviour. The authors concluded that up to 120 days of RF exposure does not cause any behavioural changes in mice.
