This study was conducted to assess possible effects of prolonged (for 3 hours) exposure to 884 MHzGSM wireless communication signals on self-reported symptoms, cognitive function, and sleep.
Background/further details
The study group consisted of 36 women and 35 men (age range: 18-45 years). 22 women and 16 men reported symptoms they specifically related to mobile phone use. This group was described as electrosensitive. The rest of the participants reported no mobile phone-related symptoms. In choosing this two groups, it should be established whether electrosensitive persons would be able to differentiate exposure conditions from sham exposure.
