The effect of ultrahigh-frequency radiation on adaptation thresholds and the damages to blood system cells

View Original AbstractMicrowave radiation disrupted blood cell formation and immune system organs in rats, with effects visible even at low exposure levels.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats to microwave radiation at frequencies of 2375, 2450, and 3000 MHz and examined the effects on their blood-forming organs including bone marrow, spleen, and thymus. They found structural and functional changes in various types of blood cells that were dependent on radiation intensity, with bone marrow cell development and reproduction showing the most significant disruption. Even at low radiation intensities, the study detected increased numbers of immature blast cells and abnormal cell division patterns.
Why This Matters
This 1998 study provides important evidence that microwave radiation can disrupt the body's blood-forming system at the cellular level. The frequencies tested (2375-3000 MHz) overlap with modern WiFi and cellular technologies, making these findings particularly relevant today. What's especially concerning is that the researchers observed effects even at low exposure levels, including disrupted cell division in blast cells, which are the immature cells responsible for producing our blood supply. The science demonstrates that EMF exposure can interfere with fundamental biological processes like cell reproduction and immune system development. While this study lacks specific exposure measurements, it adds to the growing body of evidence showing that microwave radiation affects blood cell formation and immune function at intensities we encounter daily from wireless devices.
