The review summary reports significant biological effects from extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields, often described as stressor-like responses. Reported findings include increased mortality in mice/insects at high field levels, metabolic/horm…
WISH cells irradiated at 3 GHz (5 or 40 mW/cm2) showed reduced thymidine and glycine incorporation and changes in intracellular cAMP (decrease at 5 mW/cm2; increase at 40 mW/cm2) while viability remained normal without pretreatment. Pretreatment with digitoni…
Rat lymphocyte cultures exposed to 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwave radiation at 5, 10, or 20 mW/cm2 (absorption rates 0.7, 1.4, or 2.8 mW/g) for 4, 24, or 44 hours showed no significant differences in tritiated thymidine uptake compared with control cultur…
E. coli B cultures exposed to 2.6–4.0 GHz microwave radiation at an absorbed power level of 20 mW in 1 ml suspension (SAR 20 W/kg) for 10–12 hours showed no observed effects on colony forming ability or on molecular structure as assessed by infrared spectra.
Rats exposed to continuous-wave 12-cm wavelength microwaves at a mean power density of 5 mW/cm2 for 90 days (1 h/day) showed no significant differences in observed hematologic or other biological parameters compared with controls. The authors concluded that p…
A microwave monopole radiator design using a hollow hypodermic needle is described, intended to enable irradiation of deep biological structures by needle injection and allow simultaneous chemotherapic treatment. Matching characteristics of the monopole in sa…
Narrative review describing various microwave radiation sources and their basic characteristics relevant to assessing potential microwave radiation hazards.
