View Original AbstractMicrowave radiation altered immune cell populations in telecommunications workers, though researchers deemed the changes clinically insignificant.
Plain English Summary
Polish researchers studied immune system function in workers exposed to microwave radiation from TV transmission and satellite communication equipment (6-12 GHz frequencies). They found several changes in immune cell populations and antibody levels, including increased immunoglobulins (infection-fighting proteins) and altered ratios of different white blood cell types. However, the authors concluded these changes had no clinical significance, meaning they didn't appear to cause actual health problems.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Levels of immunoglobulin and subpopulations of T lymphocytes and NK cells in men occupationally exposed to microwave radiation in frequencies of 6-12 GHz].

Neither disorders in immunoglobulin concentrations nor in the count of T8 and NK cells had any clinical implications.
