Microwaves and Human Leukocyte Function.

Abstract

Studies were performed to determine whether human leukocytes were affected by exposure to microwave energies that equal or even exceed current safety standard recommendations. No effects were detectable on viability or on function of human mononuclear leukocytes resulting from exposure to microwave energy at specific absorption rates up to 4 mW/ml. In contrast to the results of similar studies in other laboratories, our results were highly reproducible and provided no evidence that current safety standard recommendations are inappropriate insofar as leukocyte function is concerned.
