Why exposure duration and signal modulation matter

Lai et al. · 2022 · Electromagnetic biology and medicine

What this paper brings together

A narrative review examining low-intensity effects alongside exposure duration and modulation, including a selected set of 112 studies.

The authors’ synthesis or proposal

Examines intensity, duration and modulation; reports effects in a selected set of 112 low-intensity studies and argues these exposure characteristics deserve greater attention in guideline assessment.

Reading the connections carefully

Narrative selection rather than a pooled risk estimate. The median SAR reported for selected effect studies is not a threshold for harm, and biological effects differ in relevance.
