Distance between exposed object and exposure source
130 cm
Chamber
The animals in the RF-field-exposed and sham-exposed groups were kept in identical chambers. The five chambers used for sham and RFexposure, respectively, were placed in two separate air-conditioned, adjacent rooms of the same dimensions. Exposure chambers (90 x 90 x 187 cm) were made from sheet steel and had a lining of absorbing material on the walls and the bottom. Each chamber contained in its bottom part a Plexiglas cage of 0.4 m² x 20 cm equipped with three stainless steel nipples for drinking and covered by a perforated Plexiglas lid. The top as well as the lower front and back sides of the chamber underneath the animal cage were kept open for ventilation but covered with wire netting to suppress leakage of the EMF.
Exposure was interrupted once daily for about 10 to 20 min for feeding and inspection of animals, 3 to 4 h once weekly for tumourpalpation, 1 to 2 h three times weekly for cleaning of cages, and 4 to 5 h once per month for servicing the exposure devices.
