BIOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS OBSERVED UNDER MICROWAVE IRRADIATION
A. DEFICIS, J.C. DUMAS, S. LAURENS
Swiss mice showed measurable biological changes from microwave exposure, affecting nervous system and immune function.
Plain English Summary
This conference paper examined biological changes in Swiss mice exposed to microwave radiation, focusing on effects to nervous system function and immune responses. The research investigated how microwave irradiation altered normal biological processes, including nerve conduction and immune system activity. This type of foundational research helps establish the biological mechanisms through which microwave radiation affects living systems.
Why This Matters
This research represents important foundational work documenting how microwave radiation creates measurable biological alterations in laboratory animals. The focus on nervous system conduction and immune response changes is particularly significant because these are fundamental biological processes that affect overall health and wellbeing. What makes this study noteworthy is its examination of multiple biological systems simultaneously, providing a broader picture of how microwave exposure affects living organisms.
The reality is that microwave frequencies are everywhere in our modern environment through WiFi routers, cell phones, and other wireless devices. While we don't have the specific exposure levels from this study, the documented biological alterations in laboratory mice suggest that microwave radiation isn't biologically inert as industry often claims. The science demonstrates that living systems respond to microwave exposure in measurable ways, challenging the narrative that only thermal effects matter for human health.
Finding
The choice of material, the technology used and results obtained have been the subject of previous papers [ (1) ] (2) ] . However, for memory, we shall recall the conclusions : a systematic study with frequencies from 1 to 11 GHz allowed us to observe a diminution of the conducting speed about 10 % in 5 to 6 GHz range (Fig. 1).

Microwave exposure produced measurable biological effects on mice, even with low power utilization. Some frequencies showed more pronounced effects on physiological phenomena. The study suggests that electromagnetic waves can affect biological systems, warranting further investigation with different parameters.
