[Effect of computer terminal irradiation on mice prior to mating on tumorigenesis in the offspring].
Male and female SHR mice were exposed to irradiation from the display terminal of a personal computer, 1 hr, 5 times a week for 2 weeks. Then the animals were mated and tumor yield in the progeny was studied. The descendants of intact mice were used as control. A significant increase in total tumor incidence was recorded in males and females in the experimental group. Adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland highly featured in females while lung tumors--in males.
