In mice administered Japanese encephalitis virus, 2.45-GHz continuous-wave microwave exposure (10 min) at 10–50 mW/cm2 produced a dose-dependent increase in JEV-induced lethality. Four daily exposures at 10 or 50 mW/cm2 (SARS approximately 24–98 W/kg) did not…
After 10 minutes of exposure, microwave-exposed liposome samples showed a significant increase in permeability (carboxyfluorescein release) compared with samples exposed to heat alone. The effect was observed above the lipid membrane phase transition temperat…
V79 cells exposed to continuous 7.7 GHz radiation at 0.5 mW/cm2 for 15–60 min showed a decrease in colony number related to power density and exposure time. Irradiated cells had a significantly higher frequency of specific chromosome aberrations (dicentric an…
In albino rats exposed to microwaves at 500 microW/cm2, the authors report developing a model of adaptive immunity by transferring lymphoid cells from exposed animals. Microwave exposure was reported to cause autoimmune disorders occurring alongside structura…

Three occupationally exposed cases to radio-frequency and microwave radiation presented with multiple non-specific symptoms and alopecia areata. The authors state the alopecia areata was felt to be causally linked to the radiation exposure.
One day after microwave exposure, neuronal activation was observed as increased discharge frequency and increased outburst-form activity. Cyclic outburst activity was absent in exposed embryos but present in controls; changes were reported only in the left hy…

The article summarizes examples of medical problems described as associated with repeated/prolonged exposure to abnormal environmental EMF/EF/MF in bedrooms or workplaces. It also reports that exposing extremities or head to a 10 V/m electric field at 60 Hz f…
Microwave radiation did not affect single-channel conductance or channel lifetime beyond what was expected from purely thermal effects based on measured membrane-site temperature. However, the rate of channel formation decreased during exposure, opposite to w…
Fourteen rabbits exposed to 2.1 GHz microwaves (5 mW/cm2) showed significant suppression of peripheral blood T lymphocyte numbers at 2 months and during follow-up compared with sham-exposed rabbits. In a DTH assay, the microwave group showed a larger increase…
Across several stabilized temperatures (7.0–43.8 °C), exposure for 5 min to 9.14 GHz continuous-wave microwave radiation was usually associated with increased dog-kidney Na(+), K(+)-ATPase catalytic activity, but at 24.9 °C a 23% decrease was observed. In oua…
Rats exposed for 10 minutes to 1.25-GHz high-peak-power microwave pulses showed no behavioral effects at lower dose levels, but at the highest dose animals had an average colonic temperature rise of 2.5°C and failed to respond for about 13 minutes post-exposu…
In 43 radar operators occupationally exposed to low-intensity microwave radiation over four years, several blood cell counts decreased (erythrocytes, reticulocytes, platelets, segmented granulocytes, monocytes) while leucocytes and lymphocytes increased. The …

In isolated frog spinal cord exposed to continuous-wave 6.45 GHz microwaves (SAR 0.1–2 W/g), no changes in synaptic transmission or EPSP summation were observed when preparation temperature was kept constant. VHF and conventional heating produced the same eff…

Chicken embryos were exposed to continuous-wave 2.45 GHz microwave radiation during incubation (mean power density 3.6 mW/cm2; mean egg SAR 0.8 mW/g per mW/cm2). There was no significant difference in percent fertile eggs hatched between microwave-exposed egg…
Chicks operantly conditioned to activate a microwave generator delivering 13 mW/cm2 showed no statistically significant differences versus infrared-bulb controls in plasma corticosterone at 4 weeks, organ weights (spleen, bursa), gross morphology, selected hi…
Across tested electric current densities (3, 30, 300, 3,000 microA/cm2) with a fixed 2.2 G magnetic field at 60 Hz, growth rate and reproductive integrity of CHO cells and human lymphocytes were consistently reported as unaffected. No effects were reported on…
Microwave irradiation was reported as an advantageous alternative to formalin fixation of cells before staining in viral vaccine quantitation assays, allowing avoidance of dangerous chemicals and reducing time and equipment.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields [EMF] and electric fields have been demonstrated to promote osteogenesis and wound healing. Pulsed EMF's have been approved since 1979 by the FDA, and are highly effective in the treatment of non-union fractures. Increased linear…
Describes a research strategy (California Department of Health Services) for investigating EMF health effects as a complex-mixture/surrogate-exposure problem. Based on preliminary results on the stability of spot measurements and personal monitoring of magnet…
Microwave radiation at 61 GHz with a surface power density of about 4 mW/cm2 increased the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat heart and skeletal muscle homogenates.
