ID Number 1150
Study Type In Vivo
Model ~60 MHz exposure to rats, mice, and bacteria at high levels and analysis of [thermal] effects
Details

Rats, mice, and bacteria were exposed to RF using an early model exposure system. Significant heating caused animals to die. However, the conclusions of the authors (circa 1929) was very interesting: "... there is some heating effect noticeable in human beings in the neighborhood of 5 meters which may have delayed action but it is thought not. There is, as yet, no conclusive evidence either way ..." [is this not where we are still today ?]
