Report of final results regarding brain and heart tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to mobile phone radiofrequency field representative of a 1.8 GHz GSM base station environmental emission

The carcinogenic potential of non‐ionizing radiations: The cases of S‐50 Hz MF and 1.8 GHz GSM radiofrequency radiation

“…The details of the exposure apparatus have already been reported. 22 The rats were located in four rooms totally shielded with RFR absorbent material.…”

“…Equivocal evidence of carcinogenicity of GSM-modulated cell phone RFR at 1900 MHz was observed in male B6C3F1/N (combined incidences of fibrosarcoma, sarcoma, or malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the skin and combined alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma or carcinoma of the lung) and T A B L E 7 Incidence of animals bearing atypical precursors or mammary adenocarcinomas and haemolymphoreticular neoplasias (HLRN) compared to 0.1 Gy positive control in male (M) and female (F) Sprague Dawley rats exposed to S-50 Hz MF and/or γ radiation 19 The results of the NTP study on rats motivated the Ramazzini Institute to publish the early results of its study on 1.8 GHz GSM dealing with the evaluation of the preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the heart and of the brain. 22 The experiment encompasses three groups of 817, 811 and 411 male and female Sprague Dawley rats exposed, respectively, to 5, 25 and 50 V/m for 19 h/d from prenatal life (exposing the female breeders from the 12th day of pregnancy) and continuing the exposure of the offspring until natural death. A fourth group of 412 male and 405 female rats served as controls.…”

“…The exposure apparatus representative of an environmental exposure to a far field 1.8 GHz mobile phone base station included the following parts: (a) the main generator unit; (b) an external control group; (c) the transmitting antenna and (d) a feedback probe. The details of the exposure apparatus have already been reported . The rats were located in four rooms totally shielded with RFR absorbent material.…”

“…Up to now, the results of the experiments on S-50 Hz MF alone or combined with formaldehyde or γ radiation have already been published [19][20][21] as well early results on 1.8 GHz GSM. 22…”
