Health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by mobile phone base stations are not well-established. This may be explained by the fact that this environmental factor is not enough to induce significant disturbances of homeostasis control. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a continuous RF-EMF exposure on the thermoregulatory processes in a developing rat exposed to ambient temperatures of 24°C and 31°C.
