Distance between exposed object and exposure source
4 cm
Chamber
The custom-made exposure system was similar to the one described in the reference article.
Setup
The mobile phone was positioned vertically in the center of the exposure platform. The rats were placed on a carousel and oriented radially in tube cells restricting their movements, with their snouts towards a central antenna the distance from which to the proximal edge of the tube was 4 cm.
