Exposure of B16 melanoma cells to 2.45-GHz pulsed microwaves (10 mW/cm2; SAR 0.2 W/kg; 1 h) was associated with increased membrane ordering (shift toward a more solid/ordered state) measured by EPR. Similar ordering changes occurred in melanin-reconstituted l…
In anesthetized monkeys pretreated topically with timolol maleate or pilocarpine, the reported power-density threshold for induction of corneal endothelial lesions and increased iris vascular permeability decreased from 10 to 1 mW/cm2 during pulsed 2.45 GHz m…
In 168 rats exposed to total-body microwave irradiation for 24 minutes at 46 mW/cm2, the authors report inhibition of monoaminergic activity in the brain (especially hypothalamus), impairment of metabolic reactions, exhaustion of the lipid antioxidative syste…

Human whole-blood samples exposed in vitro to continuous 7.7 GHz microwave radiation at 0.5, 10, and 30 mW/cm2 for 10, 30, and 60 minutes showed significantly higher frequencies of chromosomal aberrations than controls, including dicentric and ring chromosome…
In 648 broilers exposed to microwave treatments, the increase in body temperature after exposure decreased curvilinearly as age or body mass increased. There was a significant age-by-body mass interaction: for the same body mass, younger birds showed a greate…
Low-intensity millimeter-wave exposure showed resonance-like frequency dependence in the ranges 51.62–51.84 GHz and 41.25–41.50 GHz (resonance half-width ~100 MHz). Within 0.1–200 microW/cm2, a power density of 1 microW/cm2 was reported sufficient to suppress…
During exposure to 900-MHz fields, pulsed waves produced rapid burst-like changes in neuronal firing rate at SARs of a few W/kg, with a reported threshold near 0.5 W/kg; the effect depended on modulation but not modulation frequency. Continuous-wave exposure …
High-temperature microwaving (reported 72°C to 98°C) caused a marked decrease in activity of all tested anti-infective factors, and E. coli growth at ≥98°C was 18 times that of control human milk. Low-temperature microwaving (20°C to 53°C) showed no significa…
In Escherichia coli, low-level microwave radiation increased beta-galactosidase expression; this increase was not reproduced by bulk heating. The effect was not frequency dependent and was interpreted as due to microwave-specific heating effects (small therma…
The review summarizes early residential studies reporting higher cancer risks in children associated with higher-EMF surrogate measures (wire configuration), with reported elevated risks for all cancers, leukemia, and brain cancer. It notes that while wire-co…
The paper describes development of an automated system intended to define (via numerical methods) standardized radiation areas where permitted stay depends on exposure, to support hygienic/radiation protection for devices emitting superhigh-frequency electrom…

In four rats tested in a cold environment, moderate and high intraperitoneal ethanol doses suppressed operant behavior that was reinforced by brief (5-sec) microwave exposures. Statistical tests indicated significant differences between ethanol doses.
Our goal was to investigate effects of long-term exposure to pulsed microwave radiation. The major emphasis was to expose a large sample of experimental animals throughout their lifetimes and to monitor them for effects on general health and longevity. An exp…
The paper describes macroscopic electrical quantities induced in living systems and experimental models by ELF electric and magnetic field exposure, and discusses how these quantities can be characterized via measurement and modeling at whole-body and local s…
The article describes EMF from 60 Hz alternating current electricity as an emerging environmental health concern and notes public and historical scientific speculation and debate about possible health effects, including concerns about household electrical app…
The study was carried out in 50 male rats abdominally implanted with biotelemetric systems (BTS) or mock-up. The animals were provided with 12/12 light/dark schedule during 6-week experiment. The electromagnetic field (EMF) frequency was 455 kHz, magnetic ind…
In rabbits, 53.57 GHz microwave radiation at 10 mW/cm2 applied to the occipital area for 1 hour daily over 2 weeks was associated with a favourable effect on radial bone fracture union compared with controls, particularly during the first 14 days after osteot…
