EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE IRRADIATION IN VIVO ON RABBIT BLOOD SERUM
No Effects Found
Lewis C. Gershman
Rabbits showed no blood chemistry changes after 10 days of high-level microwave exposure at WiFi and microwave oven frequencies.
Plain English Summary
Summary written for general audiences
Researchers exposed rabbits to microwave radiation for one hour daily over 10 days at power levels of 15 milliwatts per square centimeter, testing both 5.85 GHz pulsed and 2.45 GHz continuous wave frequencies. They found no significant changes in 12 different blood serum parameters compared to unexposed control animals. This contradicted earlier research that reported decreased albumin-to-globulin ratios under similar exposure conditions.

}Quick Questions About This Study
The study used 15 milliwatts per square centimeter, which is approximately 150 times stronger than typical cell phone radiation levels near your head during a call.
No significant differences were found between 5.85 GHz pulsed radiation and 2.45 GHz continuous wave exposure. Both frequencies produced identical results compared to unexposed control animals.
Researchers analyzed 12 different serum parameters using automated testing methods. None of the measured blood chemistry markers showed statistically significant changes after the 10-day exposure period.
The researchers specifically noted they could not reproduce earlier laboratory findings showing decreased albumin-to-globulin ratios under similar microwave exposure conditions, highlighting reproducibility challenges in EMF research.
The rabbits received one hour of daily exposure for 10 consecutive days. This represents more concentrated exposure than typical human patterns but less total cumulative exposure than heavy smartphone users.
