View Original AbstractIntense microwave exposure showed no corneal damage in primates at levels hundreds of times higher than typical wireless device exposure.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed four rhesus monkeys to intense 2.8 GHz microwave radiation for 36 hours total over three weeks and measured any damage to the corneal endothelium (the inner layer of cells in the eye's cornea). The study found no changes in corneal cell density or thickness, even at power levels more than ten times higher than previous studies that reported eye damage. This suggests that microwave exposure at these levels may not harm this specific part of the eye.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Absence of corneal endothelium injury in non-human primates treated with and without ophthalmologic drugs and exposed to 2.8 GHz pulsed microwaves.
In an attempt to confirm these observations, four adult male Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) under p...
Pulsed microwave exposure did not cause alterations in corneal endothelial cell density and corneal ...
