Effects of Simultaneous Radiofrequency Radiation and Chemical Exposure of Mammalian Cells. Volume 1.

Abstract

The major objective of this project has been to determine whether radiofrequency radiation (RFR), at power densities and specific absorption rate (SAR) values which can result in temperature increases in the exposure medium, can affect the extent of chemically induced toxicity, mutagenicity, sister chromatid exchange, or chromosome aberrations in mammalian cells. The in vitro system which has been used for toxicity and mutagenicity studies is the mouse leukemic L5178Y cell thymidine kinase locus mutation assay. Keywords: Mammalian cells; Microwave hazard; Mutagenesis; Radio-frequency radiation.
