ID Number		1297
Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900 MHz (GSM) exposure to human volunteers (from a mobile phone) and analysis of auditory evoked potentials
Details		Human volunteers (11 males, 7 females) were exposed to 900 MHz (GSM) from a mobile phone (no dose information) and tested for auditory brain stem response (auditory evoked potentials; EEG activity in response to a series of clicks heard through an earphone). No effects were reported, although the authors conclude that "negative neurophysiological influences may not be detectable by the current technology" and that "in [their] opinion, neither the results of this study nor the current literature provide sufficient information regarding RF exposure and the auditory system".
Findings		No Effects

Comments		Exposure was from a GSM mobile phone apparently hooked up to the network, with no information on dose, power level, or even if the users were talking (i.e., DTx status). They simply state that the max SAR for this phone model was 0.82 W/kg from compliance testing.
