Summary:
This is an animal study that investigated whether radiofrequency (RF) exposure causes any effects in the development of the offspring. A total of 16 pregnant rats were divided into 4 groups: exposed to either 0, 6, 12, or 24 hours a day. Details of the exposure received by the animals were not provided by the study. The exposure was at a frequency of 1800 megahertz and maximum power output of 2 Watts. The bone development of the male offspring was then evaluated after 60 days of birth. The authors reported that RF exposure during the prenatal period may inhibit bone and muscle tissue development.
