This dosimetry study simulated fetal RF-EMF exposure between 2.45 and 5 GHz during the second trimester, estimating SAR10g in fetal brain and lungs. The presence of a belly-button piercing increased SAR, with maxima reported at 2.45 GHz (16 mW/kg in lungs; 14 mW/kg in brain). Despite these increases, all SAR values…

This randomized, double-blind, counterbalanced provocation study tested whether short-term RF-EMF exposure alters salivary cortisol in 72 predominantly young, healthy adults. Active exposure (2 W/kg peak SAR10g in head) showed no significant effect on cortisol compared with sham, and no sex differences were observed.…

This study uses anatomically detailed computational models of a five-year-old girl, a pregnant woman in the third trimester, and a fetus to simulate mobile phone RF exposure inside an elevator cabin. Simulations at 1000 MHz and 1800 MHz across 48 configurations evaluated SAR10g, whole-body SAR, and maximum…
