この研究は、電界強度1V/mの典型的なGSMおよびUMTS 信号への短期ばく露被験者認知タスクの成績および生理学的なパラメータ(体温、心拍数血圧)に影響を及ぼすか否かを調べるために、カウンターバランスした無作為化ブラインド試験を実施した。被験者は200人(半数は「電磁界が原因と本人は信じる非特異的環境不耐症」(IEI-EMF)、残りの半数は非IEI-EMF)は、真および擬似のばく露中にケンブリッジ神経心理学的自動検査(CANTAB)から選択した4種の課題をコンピュータ上で実施した。反応時間、高速視覚処理、対連合学習、空間スパンの各課題である。その結果、IEI-EMF、非IEI-EMFの両群において、認知タスクの成績および生理学的パラメータのいずれについても、真および擬似のばく露による有意差は見られなかったと報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure to a 945 MHz (GSM 900), 1840 MHz (GSM 1800) or a 2140 MHz (UMTS) electromagnetic field on physiological changes and cognitive performance in healthy and electrosensitive subjects should be investigated.

詳細情報

A total of 100 non-electrosensitive subjects and 100 electrosensitive subjects (persons who had previously reported complaints and have attributed these to GSM or UMTS exposure) participated in one session. There, they were exposed to 4 conditions: GSM900, GSM1800, UMTS and sham exposure in a counterbalanced, random order. Each condition was divided into three parts which involved pre-exposure, during exposure, and post-exposure.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Non-electrosensitive subjects showed a significantly lower heart rate during post-exposure compared to pre-exposure under GSM 900 and GSM 1800 conditions. Under UMTS exposure conditions, both groups, non-electrosensitive and electrosensitive subjects, showed a significant reduction in heart rate during post-exposure compared to pre-exposure.
