Micronucleus induction after whole-body microwave irradiation of rats

Adult male Wistar rats were exposed for 2 h a day, 7 days a week for up to 30 days to continuous 2450 MHz radiofrequency microwave (rf/MW) radiation at a power density of 5–10 mW/cm 2. Sham-exposed rats were used as controls. After ether anesthesia, experimental animals were euthanized on the final...

Zusammenfassung:	Adult male Wistar rats were exposed for 2 h a day, 7 days a week for up to 30 days to continuous 2450 MHz radiofrequency microwave (rf/MW) radiation at a power density of 5–10 mW/cm 2. Sham-exposed rats were used as controls. After ether anesthesia, experimental animals were euthanized on the final irradiation day for each treated group. Peripheral blood smears were examined for the extent of genotoxicity, as indicated by the presence of micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs). The results for the time-course of PCEs indicated significant differences ( P
