> I think your claim is exaggereated and without evidence
I calculated it myself. It was in response to one of those anti-EMF folks posting these papers as proof that cell phones were very dangerous. It's been several years since I did this, I don't have the references or calculations handy.
They exposed rats to increasing levels of radiation power for relatively short durations, and only the highest had the adverse effects.
Of course, could be I calculated it wrong. But it was a fairly simple scaling thing ala watts per gram of tissue, and I did do it for at least a few papers.
And yes, I think these were overpowered on purpose. If there was no effect at these extreme levels, it wouldn't make much sense spending resources studying lower-level exposure.
Who cares about rats. There are plenty of human studies we can look at. The point is, we know EMF can affect things, but we don't know if those affects are harmful. Going back in the comment history, this was about telling someone that maybe they're crazy, but maybe they aren't crazy about EMF affecting their mental state. There are things they can look up, such as brain glucose metabolism, EEG changes, etc. We know these changes happen, but we don't know what they mean or how they might interact with a condition like their's as it's hard enough to find good EMF studies let alone ones where the subjects aren't "healthy individuals".
