Distance between exposed object and exposure source
0.65 m
Chamber
The exposure room was 2.6 m long x 2.2 m wide x 2.45 high. Sham exposed mice were housed in a separate room, only 1.8 m wide. The rooms were lined with overlapping sheets of 1-mm aluminium (-40 dB at 900 MHz). Each room contained a vertical ground plane (2.5 m x 2.2 m), running parallel to the wall, with a quarter-wave monopole antenna at the center.
Setup
Twenty Lucite® stands (15 cm x 30 cm) for mouse cages were mounted in a circular array perpendicular to the ground plane with their centers 0.65 m from the antenna. The mice were housed in groups of five in 18 x 15 x 30 cm filter-top transparent polycarbonate cages with a perforated glass lid.
