“…Treatments with microwaves at 2.45 GHz also revealed no differences in the frequency of chromosomal aberration in blood lymphocytes from Chinese hamsters (Huang et al, 1977) and in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in bone marrow cells of the Mouse (McRee et al, 1981) using power levels of 45 mW/cm 2 and 20 mW/cm 2, respectively.…”

The biological effects of microwaves in the hyperfrequency range, 9,4 GHz, and 70-75 GHz were investigated in bacteria and yeast. At power densities below 60 mW/cm2 and SAR values not exceeding 28 mW/g no significant effects on survival of repair competent an deficient strains were observed in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In addition, microwaves of 17 GHz did not induce mutations in E. coli B/r WP2 trp- uvr- above the spontaneous level, and the induction of nuclear reversions, cytoplasmic "petite" mutations and mitotic recombination as well as the efficiency of sporulation was not affected in yeast.

“…The difference did not prove significant (P < 0.05) when further compared using a one-tailed t-test. An earlier RFR-SCE experiment (McRee et al, 1981) exposed mice to 2450-MHz radiation; those results also showed no RFR-induced increases in SCE frequency.…”

During the past several years, concerns have been raised regarding the potential adverse effects of exposures to nonionizing radiation, particularly in the extremely low frequency (ELF) range (50 to 60 MHz) and radiofrequency radiation (RFR) with frequencies ranging from 30 KHz to 30,000 MHz. One focus of concern has been potential DNA interactions. Publications reviewing the genotoxicity of ELF radiation [McCann et al. (1993): Mutat Res 297(1):61–95; Murphy et al. (1993): Mutat Res 296:221–240; NAS (1997)], have been uniform in concluding that the weight of evidence does not indicate any genotoxic risk from exposure to this type of radiation. Concern that RFR may be associated with adverse biological effects [WHO, 1993], including recent allegations that they may be involved in the production of brain tumors in humans [Elmer‐Dewit (1993): Time, February 8:42], has resulted in the production of a large number of publications describing the effects of RFR on the integrity of nucleic acids. Data from studies conducted in a frequency range from 800 to 3,000 MHz were reviewed and subjected to a weight‐of‐evidence evaluation. The evaluation focused on direct toxicological effects of RFR as well as on studies addressing basic biological responses to RFR at the cellular and molecular level. The data from over 100 studies suggest that RFR is not directly mutagenic and that adverse effects from exposure of organisms to high frequencies and high power intensities of RFR are predominantly the result of hyperthermia; however, there may be some subtle indirect effects on the replication and/or transcription of genes under relatively restricted exposure conditions.
