Biological effects have been reproducibly reported in rodents exposed to radiofrequency fields (RF) without significant change of the body temperature. These observations relaunch the controversial question of non-thermal effects of RF. If true, such effects would imply to consider RF energy absorption/interaction in tissues, not as volume-averaged, but locally down to the microscale, which is of potential consequence in particular at frequencies beyond 3 GHz. We propose study protocols to explore that question.
在不显著改变体温的情况下，已有研究在暴露于射频场（RF）的啮齿动物中重现了生物效应。这些观察结果重新引发了关于 RF 非热效应的争议性问题。如果这些效应是真实存在的，那么这意味着需要考虑组织中 RF 能量的吸收/相互作用，而不是以体积平均值来考虑，而是局部到微尺度，这在频率超过 3GHz 时尤其具有潜在影响。我们提出了研究方案来探索这个问题。
