Biological Effects of Non-Ionizing Radiation.

Abstract

The goals of the research project were to complete a comprehensive and intensified research to categorize and evaluate the mutagenic injury caused by nonionizing radiation (microwaves). The variables in this study were microwave frequency, power density and time of exposure. Testicular tissue was examined histologically for evidence of damage, and mutagenicity and infertility was determined by the Dominant lethal Assay. Deoxyribonucleic acid isolation and characterization was undertaken.
