ID Number		409
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (PW) exposure to mice and analysis of cytogenetic effects in male germ cells
Details		C3H/HeH x 101/H mice (F1 offspring - 8 to 10 wks of age) exposed to 2450 MHz (PW - modulated at 100 Hz) for 30 min/day, 6 day/wk for 2 consecutive weeks in the far field of an anechoic chamber at 1.0, 100, or 400 W/m2. Some minor changes were recorded, but the authors concluded that while microwave irradiation and related increases in temperature may lead to some small increase in the frequency of chromosome aberrations in spermatocytes, this is at a much lower level than that observed previously by Manikowska-Czerska, et al. (J Hered (1985) 76:71-73).
