Egg lecithin multilamellar vesicles exposed to 900 MHz microwave radiation (SAR 12 ± 1 W/kg) for 5 h showed a dramatic decrease in optical anisotropy, interpreted as structural changes in acyl chain packing. IR and 1H NMR measurements indicated increased damage after exposure, including spectral changes consistent with hydrolysis of carboxylic and phosphoric esters and conformational changes in acyl chains, while IR and 31P NMR did not show appreciable changes in lipid head groups.

Whole blood samples exposed in vitro to continuous 1800 MHz microwave radiation (5, 10, 20 mW/cm^2 for 60–180 min) showed a statistically significant, though low, increase in micronucleus frequency dependent on exposure time and power density. Proliferation indices differed among donors and between experiments, but were not affected by power density or exposure time. MN frequencies varied significantly among donors and between experiments, with lower spontaneous and induced MN frequencies in the second experiment; inter-individual variability was described as reproducible.

In rats placed inside copper rings intended to partially screen natural EMF, granulocyte numbers increased within 3–5 hours and returned to baseline by 24 hours; the effect was more pronounced with individual rings than with a common cage ring. Plastic-ring controls did not show this effect. A positive correlation was reported between Ki-indexes of geomagnetic field disturbance 1–2 days before experiments and granulocyte numbers in rats (1995–2002).
