The changes of behaviora l reactions in animals when exposed to EMFs emitted by wi-fi equipment

Abstract

The article covers results of chronic experiment on evaluating influence of wi-fi equipment electromagnetic fields on behavioral reactions of laboratory animals. The studies were conducted in specially designed half-echo-free shielded room, to exclude direct or indirect influence of other environmental factors. The animals were divided into 3 groups: first and second were exposed to electromagnetic fields of wi-fi equipment; third (reference) group did not experience this exposure. The animals were kept in controlled environmental conditions: air temperature, relative humidity, light, nutrition. Source of electromagnetic field was household router for wireless internet access with continuous load 96–98%. Every laboratory animal weekly performed tests «open field», «T-shaped maze», «forced swimming». Observations during the experiment were changes of behavioral reactions with depressive state development.
