Eggs exposed to 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwaves (5 mW/cm2; SAR 4 mW/g) during the first 12 days of embryogeny showed small depressions in certain blood cell measures after an acute hemorrhage compared with controls. Reticulocytes were depressed at 24 hr postphlebotomy in exposed adult females; lymphocytes were depressed at 24 hr in exposed juvenile and adult males; heterophils were depressed at 72 hr in exposed juvenile and adult males.

Microwave exposure (2450 MHz continuous wave; mean SAR 103.5 ± 4.2 W/kg) produced a significant stimulation versus incubator controls, but a similar stimulation was also observed after sham treatment. There was no significant difference between microwave- and sham-exposed groups, and the authors attribute differences versus incubator controls to slower heating of the incubator controls (not exceeding 35.9°C).

Across groups exposed to pulsed microwaves at SARs from 3 mW/kg to 8.55 W/kg (and other described conditions), no bradycardia or tachycardia was observed at constant temperatures. At 200 W/kg, one group showed a sharp slowing of heart rate after 25 minutes coinciding with a 7°C rise in solution temperature, while another 200 W/kg group under constant temperature had heartbeats that almost paralleled controls.

Prenatally and perinatally exposed rats weighed more than sham-exposed rats at postnatal day 30 but not at day 100. Perinatally exposed rats showed reduced swimming endurance at postnatal day 30 (and days 30–36 in a second experiment) but not at day 100. Air-puff startle response changes were reported (increased magnitude at day 30 and decreased at day 100 in prenatally exposed females; longer latency in prenatally exposed females in the second experiment), while other measures showed no other reliable effects.

Rats exposed to 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwave radiation at 10 mW/cm2 for 6 hours (measured SAR 3.7 mW/g) showed no effects on mean arterial blood pressure or colonic temperature. Heart rate was significantly reduced after 1 hour of exposure (about 450 vs 400 beats/min) and remained reduced for the rest of the exposure period. No hematologic or biochemical parameters examined were affected.

Nonthermal 2,450-MHz microwave exposure (1 or 10 mW/cm2) during pregnancy did not produce resorptions or detectable malformations, but fetal body mass at day 19 was significantly lower than sham controls. Thermogenic exposure (40 mW/cm2) increased resorptions (~25% vs ~2% in controls). Combined exposure to ara-C and microwaves (10 mW/cm2) increased resorptions (45% vs 20% with ara-C alone) and cleft lip/cleft lip and palate (70% vs 30% with ara-C alone).

The paper describes existing radiofrequency (including microwave) electromagnetic radiation safety standards from multiple countries and IRPA/INIRC recommendations. It proposes using 0.4 W/kg as a basic absorbed dose rate value, corresponding to an energy flux density of 100 W/m2 for frequencies over 2 GHz, and discusses concepts of effective dose rate/effective dose and occupational safety questions.

Three experimental series assessed microwave exposures (0.9 GHz at 0.4 mW/cm2 for 10 min; 0.6 GHz at 0.04 mW/cm2 for 5 min; 9.8 GHz at 0.04 mW/cm2 for 5 min) on EEG photostimulation rhythm adoption in rats and avoidance behaviors in mice. The abstract states that results are discussed in relation to a hypothesis involving nervous system mechanisms via cutaneous receptors, but does not report specific directional results.

Air heating significantly decreased residual chemiluminescence (CL) at temperatures above 37°C (reported 74% decrease at 45°C). Microwave exposure (2450 MHz, 91 W/kg, 10 min) inhibited the temperature-associated decline in residual CL above 37°C (reported 40% inhibition at 45°C).

Doxorubicin and epirubicin solutions stored at -20°C and thawed either at room temperature or by microwave radiation showed no loss of content after at least 2 weeks (doxorubicin) and 4 weeks (epirubicin). Refreezing and re-thawing doxorubicin five weeks later resulted in only a slight decrease in content.

Across two studies in rats, the authors report no substantial evidence for regional brain temperature differentials (“hot spots”) after 30-min exposures to 2450 MHz microwaves or elevated ambient air temperature. In one study, no temperature differences between brain regions were found after either exposure, and brain temperature correlated strongly with core temperature similarly for both heating methods. In a second study, only cortex showed different heating rates between air heating and microwave heating, but this difference was limited to the initial 5 minutes and was not present thereafter.
