Abstract The aim of the present study was to assess the potential effects of intermittent Universal Mobile Telecommunications System electromagnetic fields (UMTS-EMF) on blood circulation in the human head (auditory region) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on two different timescales: short-term (effects occurring within 80?s) and medium-term (effects occurring within 80?s to 30?min). For the first time, we measured potential immediate effects of UMTS-EMF in real-time without any interference during exposure. Three different exposures (sham, 0.18?W/kg, and 1.8?W/kg) were applied in a controlled, randomized, crossover, and double-blind paradigm on 16 healthy volunteers. In addition to oxy-, deoxy-, and total haemoglobin concentrations (O(2) Hb, HHb, and tHb, respectively), the heart rate (HR), subjective well-being, tiredness, and counting speed were recorded. During exposure to 0.18?W/kg, we found a significant short-term increase in ?O(2) Hb and ?tHb, which is small (?17%) compared to a functional brain activation. A significant decrease in the medium-term response of ?HHb at 0.18 and 1.8?W/kg exposures was detected, which is in the range of physiological fluctuations. The medium-term ?HR was significantly higher (+1.84?bpm) at 1.8?W/kg than for sham exposure. The other parameters showed no significant effects. Our results suggest that intermittent exposure to UMTS-EMF has small short- and medium-term effects on cerebral blood circulation and HR.
