Abstract

Abstract Summary

Overview

The study investigates the chronic effects of electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones on various health parameters in healthy dogs. This insightful research explores critical health markers, including heart rate variability (HRV), cardiac function, and semen quality.

Methodology & Findings

• Subjects: Eight male dogs.
• Exposure: Mobile phone radiation (1962-1966 MHz; SAR 0.96 W/kg) for 2 hours daily, five days a week over ten weeks.
• Assessments: Holter monitoring (HRV), ECG, blood pressure, echocardiography, hematology, and semen analysis were performed at baseline, week 5, and week 10.
• Results: HRV metrics showed minimal variation over time. While some ECG intervals noted prolongation at week 5, they remained within normal limits. Other parameters, such as blood profiles, body temperature, and semen quality, did not exhibit significant changes.

Conclusion

This expansive investigation did not find evidence of adverse effects on HRV, cardiac output, or general health in dogs due to mobile phone electromagnetic radiation exposure over ten weeks, considering the constraints of this study.
