Absence of chromosomal damage in human lymphocytes exposed to microwave radiation with hyperthermia.
Specimens of human blood were exposed to 0, 4, 40, 100, and 200 Wkg-1 of 2.45 GHz microwave radiation for 20 minutes. The blood temperature was carefully controlled so that it rose from 37 to 40 degrees C. Cultured lymphocytes were examined for induced chromosomal damage but no effect in excess of background was observed.
