No Clastogenic Effect fromin VitroMicrowave Irradiation of G0Human Lymphocytes

Abstract

Specimens of human blood were exposed at specific energy absorption rates of 104 or 193 W kg-1 to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation at temperatures below 36.degree. C. Cultured lymphocytes were examined for induced unstable chromosome and chromatid aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges. The amount of chromosome damage observed did not exceed that found in controls.
