STUDIES TO EVALUATE THE TOXIC AND CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL OF CELL PHONE RADIATION

本合同的总体目标是进行研究，旨在表征在混响室中无约束暴露的Sprague-Dawley大鼠和B6 C3 F1小鼠中手机射频辐射（RFR）的潜在毒性和致癌性。该合同将研究长期暴露于手机RFR的最低热量水平可能对健康产生的影响。 在2011财年，我们根据合同进行了第三阶段的工作。第3阶段涉及在大鼠中进行围产期/慢性前毒性研究和在小鼠中进行慢性前毒性研究。本阶段的目标是表征亚慢性暴露于RF的潜在毒性效应，并支持选择用于第4阶段慢性毒性/致癌性生物测定的最佳场强。

The general objective of this contract is to perform studies which are designed to characterize the potential toxicity and carcinogenicity of cell phone radio frequency radiation (RFR) in Sprague-Dawley rats and B6C3F1 mice exposed unconstrained in reverberation chambers. This contract will study the possible health effects of long-term exposure to minimally thermal levels of cell phone RFR. During FY 2011, we were conducting Phase 3 work under the contract. Phase 3 involved the conduct of a perinatal/prechronic toxicity study in rats and a prechronic toxicity study in mice. The goals of this Phase were to characterize the potential toxic effects of subchronic exposure to RF, and to support the selection of optimal field strengths for use in the Phase 4 chronic toxicity/ oncogenicity bioassays.
