EMF Study
(Database last updated on Mar 27, 2024)

ID Number 1835
Study Type Human / Provocation
Model 900 Mhz (GSM), 2 GHz (UMTS) exposure at base station levels to humans and analysis of cognitive function (replication of TNO / Zwamborn et al. 2003 study)
Details

Volunteers (n = 15) were exposed to 900 MHz (GSM) or 2 GHz (UMTS) at either 1 W/kg (GSM and UMTS) or 0.1 W/kg (UMTS only) using a small broadband antenna placed over the left ear similar to a phone. No effects of exposure were reported on several cognitive (continuous performance test), evolked potential (VEP, AEP, AE-P300), and physiologic (EEG) tests.

Findings No Effects
Status Completed With Publication
Principal Investigator University Berne, Switzerland
Funding Agency Nat'l Res Prog, Switzerland (SNSF, NRP57)

  • Comments

    The studies are contrary to the TNO report of increased subjective symptoms as well as that reported by Croft et al (increased EEG spectral power across several frequencies, most notably alpha bands)
