Abstract
The physiological and behavioral responses of animals exposed to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) are related to both the whole-body average specific absorption rate (SAR) and the distribution of absorbed energy within the irradiated subjects (the local SAR). Local and whole-body average energy absorption varies with a great number of factors—carrier frequency, power density, physical dimensions of the organism, and orientation of the subject with respect to the electric and magnetic fields. RFR exposure at different carrier frequencies results in different SARs in prolate spheroid models,1 and in different colonic heating rates in rats2 and rhesus monkeys,3 with higher SARs and faster heating occurring at or near the resonant frequency.
