Summary:
This animal study investigated whether the RF exposure, ringtone and vibration associated with mobile phone use results in anxiety-like behaviour and oxidative stress. A total of 25 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1 group sham-exposed and 4 groups exposed to RF emitted from GSM mobile phones (at frequencies of 900/1800 MHz) with the phones’ ringing mode on silent, vibration, ringtone, and combination of vibration and ringtone. The exposure was for 10 minutes per day for 4 weeks. The authors found that the RF exposure or in combination with vibration and/or ringtone produced an effect on anxiety-like behaviour and oxidative stress in young rats.
