Prenatal and Postnatal Development of Rats Exposed in-Utero to a Wi-Fi Signal

The present study aimed, for the first time, at evaluating the consequences of in utero exposure to a Wi-Fi signal on pregnant rats and their pups. SAR levels of 0.08, 0.4, and 4 W/kg were used. Prenatal study of foetuses delivered by caesarean was carried out on 5 females/group. Maternal observations after delivery and offspring follow-up were done during 28 days (15 females/group). For all tested conditions and for whole-body SAR levels up to 4 W/kg, no abnormalities were found on the pregnant females and no significant signs of teratology on prenatal and postnatal development of their pups were observed.
