Pilot experiments on temperature cycling in rats exposed repetitively to radiofrequency radiation (RFR)

A series of temperature cycling experiments during Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR) exposure of rats was performed. It is evident that this type of exposure procedure permits the introduction of high doses of electromagnetic energy into biological systems while the systems are maintained at physiologically acceptable temperatures. Experiments were carried out at various power densities (50-200 mW/cm2) using continuous wave (CW) and pulsed radiation while the carrier frequency was maintained at 2.06 GHz. It was observed that single-day RFR exposures at power levels used in this series produced no observable effect on temperature regulation of rats in terms of heat dissipation efficiency.
