Acute low‐intensity microwave exposure increases DNA single‐strand breaks in rat brain cells
Abstract
Levels of DNA single‐strand break were assayed in brain cells from rats acutely exposed to low‐intensity 2450 MHz microwaves using an alkaline microgel electrophoresis method. Immediately after 2 h of exposure to pulsed (2 μs width, 500 pulses/s) microwaves, no significant effect was observed, whereas a dose rate‐dependent [0.6 and 1.2 W/kg whole body specific absorption rate (SAR)] increase in DNA single‐strand breaks was found in brain cells of rats at 4 h postexposure. Furthermore, in rats exposed for 2 h to continuous‐wave 2450 MHz microwaves (SAR 1.2 W/kg), increases in brain cell DNA single‐strand breaks were observed immediately as well as at 4 h postexposure. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
