Chromosomal Aberrations of Living Cells Induced by Microwave Radiation

Abstract

Abstract An experimental study on chromosomal aberrations in animal and human cells induced by the microwave radiation has been conducted. Chinese hamster cells and human amnion cells were exposed to a microwave of 2.45 GHz at various intensities over various periods of time. Chromosomal aberrations induced in these two types of cells have been observed and they appeared to be non-thermal in nature.
