Development of health-based exposure limits for radiofrequency radiation from wireless devices using a benchmark dose approach

Table 2 BMD₁₀ and BMDL₁₀ SAR values calculated with Bayesian model averaging for right ventricle cardiomyopathy in male and female rats following a 2-year exposure

	Females CDMA	Females GSM	Males CDMA	Males GSM
BMD₁₀, all doses	10.68 W/kg^a	4.86 W/kg	1.50 W/kg	0.81 W/kg
BMDL₁₀, all doses	5.16 W/kg	2.18 W/kg	0.70 W/kg	0.42 W/kg
BMD₁₀, the highest dose omitted	5.21 W/kg	2.94 W/kg	1.69 W/kg	0.69 W/kg
BMDL₁₀, the highest dose omitted	2.70 W/kg	1.91 W/kg	0.79 W/kg	0.33 W/kg

^a Calculated BMD₁₀ value is greater than the 6 W/kg highest SAR exposure dose in the study
