Exposure of Rabbit Erythrocytes to Microwave Radiation
P. E. Hamrick, J. G. Zinkl · 1975
Rabbit erythrocytes exposed to 2450 and 3000 MHz microwave radiation showed no significant difference in potassium efflux or osmotic resistance compared to controls.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rabbit erythrocytes to 2450 and 3000 MHz microwave radiation at multiple intensities to test for changes in potassium efflux and osmotic resistance. No significant differences were found between exposed and control cells in potassium efflux, osmotic resistance, or hemoglobin efflux.
Why This Matters
Temperature was monitored with a thermistor in a similar tube and controls were held at the same temperature in a water bath. The authors acknowledged that it is almost impossible to duplicate every detail of another's experiment and they may have omitted a factor needed to reproduce the results.
