Pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field affects human sleep and sleep electroencephalogram

掲載誌: Neurosci Lett 1999; 275 (3): 207-210

この研究は、デジタル携帯電話端末から放射される電磁界EMF)が脳に影響を与える否かを、健康で若いボランティアによる終夜睡眠実験で調べた。ばく露夜は、15分オン、15分オンの断続的ばく露(900MHz;SAR 1 W/kg)を、終夜の睡眠中、被験者に与えた。対照夜に、擬似ばく露実験を行った。その結果、ばく露夜は、対照夜に比べ、入眠後の覚醒時間が18分から12分に減少した;ノンレム睡眠中の脳電図のスペクトラムパワーが増大した。最大の増加は、睡眠の初めの時間に、10-11Hzと13.5-14Hz帯で起き、その後おさまった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To study whether electromagnetic field emitted by digital cellular phone affects the brain, subjects were exposed during an entire night-sleep episode to an intermittent schedule consisting of alternating 15 minutes "on" and 15 minutes "off" intervals.

ばく露装置
ばく露の発生源/構造
Distance between exposed object and exposure source 30 cm
チャンバの詳細 Two sound insulated and temperature controlled bedrooms with absorber walls placed around the bed to approximate an anechoic room and ensure a relatively uniform exposure.
ばく露装置の詳細 There was an array of three λ/2 dipole antennas behind each bed at a distance of 30 cm from the head of the recumbent subject. The polarization of the field was perpendicular to the surface of the bed.
Additional information The experiment consisted of two sessions one week apart. EMF or sham exposure was given according to a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind study, cross-over study design. During an adaptation night per session in a different room, the absorber walls were mimicked by fabric.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

Compared with a control night the amount of waking after sleep onset was reduced from 18 to 12 min. Spectral power of the EEG in non-rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep) was increased. The maximum rise occured in the 10.0-11.0 Hz and 13.5-14.0 Hz bands during the initial part of sleep and then subsided. The data demonstrate that pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic field in the range of cellular phones may promote sleep and modify sleep EEG.
