Non-thermal Biological Effects of Microwaves review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: see "others"
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: apoptosis (cell proliferation) (see "others")
• effects on the neurological system: blood-brain barrier permeability (see "others")
• nonthermal biological effects (e.g. genotoxicity, stress response, blood-brain barrier permeability, apoptosis (cell proliferation) dependening on physical exposure parameters (e.g. frequency, modulation, time of exposure, polarization, resonance)

Exposure

• • microwaves
  • low level microwaves
• • mobile communications

Study funded by
