“…The most Absence of mutagenic or recombinagenic effects of MMW radiation was clearly demonstrated in the likely mechanism of this effect was either direct or indirect activation of the dark repair system. No surlate 1970s [Dardalhon et al, 1979[Dardalhon et al, , 1981, and later investigations were consistent with this conclusion. At vival effects were found if the sequence of exposures was reversed, i.e., when UV irradiation was performed the same time, a number of studies indicated that MMW could affect the fine chromosome structure and immediately after a 10-to 30-min MMW exposure.…”

In recent years, research into biological and medical effects of millimeter waves (MMW) has expanded greatly. This paper analyzes general trends in the area and briefly reviews the most significant publications, proceeding from cell-free systems, dosimetry, and spectroscopy issues through cultured cells and isolated organs to animals and humans. The studies reviewed demonstrate effects of lowintensity MMW (10 mW/cm 2 and less) on cell growth and proliferation, activity of enzymes, state of cell genetic apparatus, function of excitable membranes, peripheral receptors, and other biological systems. In animals and humans, local MMW exposure stimulated tissue repair and regeneration, alleviated stress reactions, and facilitated recovery in a wide range of diseases (MMW therapy). Many reported MMW effects could not be readily explained by temperature changes during irradiation. The paper outlines some problems and uncertainties in the MMW research area, identifies tasks for future studies, and discusses possible implications for development of exposure safety criteria and guidelines.

Significant concern has been raised about possible health effects from exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, especially after the rapid introduction of mobile telecommunications systems. Parents are especially concerned with the possibility that children might develop cancer after exposure to the RF emissions from mobile telephone base stations erected in or near schools. These questions have followed scientific reports suggesting that residence near high voltage power lines may to be associated with an increased childhood leukemia risk. Epidemiologic studies have been plagued by poor RF exposure assessment and differences in methodology. There are no high-quality epidemiologic studies that can be used to evaluate health risks from RF exposure. Laboratory studies in this area have been somewhat confusing. Some animal studies suggest that RF fields accelerate the development of sarcoma colonies in the lung, mammary tumors, skin tumors, hepatomas, and sarcomas. A substantial RF-induced increase in lymphoma incidence in transgenic mice exposed for up to 18 months has also been reported. In contrast, other studies have not found carcinogenic effects. These conflicting results indicate the need for more well-conducted studies on laboratory animals, supplemented with high-quality in vitro studies to identify effects that need further research in vivo, and to characterize any acting mechanisms, especially at low RF field levels. This paper provides a review of the laboratory studies and indicates what conclusions about RF-induced cancer can be drawn. Environ Health Perspect 1 05(Suppl 6): 1565-1568 (1997)

“…While the inhibitory effect of microwaves on microorganis ms is under research, how micro wave brings about this effect is still a matter of debate among many researchers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. It is generally thought that the destruction of microorganisms is mainly due to a thermal effect [13,14,15,16].…”
