Exhibit E : An Update on the Genetic Effects of Nonionizing Electromagnetic Fields

Purpose: One of the most important issues regarding radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF‐EMF) is their effect on genetic material. Therefore, we investigated the cytogenotoxic effects of 900 MHz radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF‐EMF) and the effect of a recovery period after exposure to RF‐EMF on bone marrow cells of immature and mature rats. Materials and methods: The immature and mature rats in treatment groups were exposed to RF‐EMF for 2 h/day for 45 days. Average electrical field values for immature and mature rats were 28.1±4.8 V/m and 20.0±3.2 V/m, respectively. Whole‐body specific absorption rate (SAR) values for immature and mature rats were in the range of 0.38‐0.78 W/kg, and 0.31‐0.52 W/kg during the 45 days, respectively. Two recovery groups were kept for 15 days after RF‐EMF exposure. Results: Significant differences were observed in chromosome aberrations (CA), micronucleus (MN) frequency, mitotic index (MI) and ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in all
