Impact of specific electromagnetic radiation on wakefulness in mice

(2024)
Method

Experimental Setup:

Mice were exposed to EMR at different carrier frequencies (2.4 GHz vs. 935 MHz).

Different modulation frequencies were tested: 10 Hz, 100 Hz, and 1,000 Hz.

Different modulation modes

Square-pulsed modulation (abrupt on/off pulses)

Sinusoidal-pulsed modulation (smooth wave pulses)

Continuous sinusoidal amplitude modulation (no pulses, smooth wave)

Source

EMR frequencies of 1,000 Hz and 10 Hz

Result

Public Health Concern
„Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the environment, particularly in the microwave range, may constitute a public health concern.“

„Exposure to 2.4 GHz EMR modulated by 100 Hz square pulses was recently reported to markedly increase wakefulness in mice.“

Experimental Results
„Similar wakefulness increase induced by 1,000 Hz modulation“

„No effect observed with 10 Hz modulation“

„935 MHz EMR shows little impact regardless of modulation“
