The goal of this contract is to provide support of National Toxicology Program (NTP) hazard assessment activities targeted toward the prevention of cancer or other adverse effects potentially caused by environmental exposure to cell phone radio frequency radiation (RFR). Renovation of the IIT Research Institute laboratories to meet the requirements of the NIEHS Statement of Work for the conduct of toxicity and carcinogenicity studies of cell phone RFR in laboratory animals has been completed. An automatic watering system for use in RFR exposure systems, as well as prototype cage racks with automatic watering system manifolds have been constructed. A prototype reverberation chamber was constructed and optimized for RF field strength and uniformity in this exposure system. Exposure chambers for evaluating health effects of cell phone RFR in rats and mice as well as exposure monitoring systems have been installed in the IIT Research Institute laboratories in Chicago, IL. The performance of these systems with respect to NIEHS requirements for field strength, field uniformity, and RF signal characteristics have been verified by independent measurements by engineers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. With recent demonstration that environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity, air flow) and field strengths in the exposure chambers are well maintained, animal exposures are expected to begin in early FY'09.

该合同的目的是为国家毒理学计划（NTP）的危害评估活动提供支持，这些活动旨在预防手机射频辐射（RFR）环境暴露可能导致的癌症或其他不良影响。已完成IIT研究所实验室的改造，以满足NIEHS工作说明书中关于在实验室动物中进行手机RFR毒性和致癌性研究的要求。已经建造了用于RFR暴露系统的自动供水系统，以及带有自动供水系统歧管的原型笼架。一个原型混响室的构建和优化的RF场强度和均匀性，在这个曝光系统。在位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的IIT研究所实验室安装了用于评估手机RFR对大鼠和小鼠健康影响的暴露室以及暴露监测系统。这些系统的性能相对于NIEHS要求的场强，场均匀性，和RF信号特性已被验证的独立测量的工程师从美国国家标准与技术研究所。最近证明暴露室中的环境条件（温度、相对湿度、气流）和场强保持良好，预计动物暴露将于2009财年初开始。 关键词手机;射频辐射（RFR）; GSM（全球移动的通信系统）和CDMA（码分多址）信号;混响室;慢性毒性;致癌性;血脑屏障渗漏;比吸收率;微核; DNA链断裂;大鼠;小鼠
