Summary:
p>This animal study investigated the effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and cognitive changes in rats. A total of 108 male rats were exposed to RF at 900MHz, 1 mW/cm² or sham for 14 or 28 days (3 hours per day). The specific energy absorption rate (SAR) varied between 0.016 watts per kilogram (W/kg) for the whole body and 2 W/kg locally in the head. The authors found that the 28-day exposure impairs spatial memory and damages BBB permeability in rats.
