Microwave radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations in corneal epithelium of Chinese hamsters.

After 75 mW/cm2 for 10 minutes, lens opacities were observed in 2 of 7 exposed eyes at one month. After 100 mW/cm2 exposures, chromosomal breaks per cell were reported as 0.1562 (30 min), 0.0794 (20 min), 0.0819 (10 min), and 0.0488 (5 min), while no chromoso…

A system for studying effects of microwaves on cells in culture.

The paper describes an improved fluid-filled waveguide exposure chamber with a micropipette sample holder intended to help separate apparent nonthermal microwave effects from effects due to temperature rise and to allow more precise calibration of incident an…

Slow and rapid responses to CW and pulsed microwave radiation by individual Aplysia pacemakers.

Microwave exposure for 2–3 minutes at SARs of only a few mW/g changed the firing rate of some Aplysia pacemaker neurons. Two response types were reported: a slow response in all neurons reaching steady state in 1–3 minutes, and a rapid response in a few neuro…

Cytological effects of microwave radiation in Chinese hamster cells in vitro.

CHO-K1 cells exposed to 2450 MHz microwaves at 25 W under elevated (uncontrolled) temperature conditions showed nuclear vacuoles, pycnotic and decondensed chromosomes, and a significant increase in chromosomal breakages per cell. Cells exposed at higher incid…

Very low frequency and small intensity electromagnetic and magnetic fields as an oecological factor.

Electromagnetic and magnetic fields of very low frequency and small intensity, similar to natural ones, influenced bacterial physiology, affecting proliferation rate, antibiotic susceptibility, and genetic recombination processes.

Studies on the interaction of microwave radiation with cholinesterase.

Microwave radiation affected cholinesterase activity only when the temperature increase was sufficient to denature the enzyme. No direct (non-thermal) effect is described in the abstract.

Studies on blood-brain barrier permeability after microwave-radiation.

No increase in blood-brain barrier permeability was observed in rats after exposure to 1.2-1.3 GHz microwave radiation at various power densities unless the rats were made hyperthermic by a warm-air environment. Microwave radiation alone did not alter permeab…

Use of microwave radiation in surgery and cancer therapy.

Rabbit livers were irradiated with microwaves for about 3 minutes to utilize rapid protein coagulation for potential surgical resection of fragile parenchymatous organs. Malignant tumors induced in rats were exposed to microwave radiation for 2 minutes and ef…
