[Effect of 2450 MHz microwaves on the fertility of Swiss female mice].
The effect of repeated expositions to 2450 cm2 microwaves at power densities of 10 or 40 mW/cm2 on fecundity of female Swiss mice was investigated. After microwave irradiations during whole pregnancy mice were allowed to have offsprings. On the day of birth litters were inspected, the number of pups noted. 30 days later female mice were mated with males for the second time and after delivery the litters were controlled, offsprings were counted. The size of first and second litters were compared. The size of second litters of irradiated animals were compared with controls. We concluded, that microwave repetitive exposure of female mice in presented conditions does not result in impaired fecundity measured as a litter size.
