Abstract
Peripheral human blood from 23 healthy donors aged between 23 and 95 y ears was exposed to continuous wave (CW) or 50 Hz amplitude modulated (AM) microwave radiation and was cultured for 72 h. Other exposure par ameters were: frequency 9 GHz, specific absorption rate (SAR) 90 mW/g, exposure duration 10 min. The possible genotoxic effect was evaluated by means of cytokinesis-block micronucleus method. A significant (p < 0.05) increase in micronuclei was found following AM microwave exposu re.
