Bioeffects Seen
Stephen F. Cleary
The paper presents a partial listing of reported microwave and radiofrequency radiation effects in biological systems.
Plain English Summary
Summary written for general audiences
Table I summarizes reported in vivo effects in humans including hyperthermia, cataracts, auditory nerve responses, and neurological effects. Reported effects in experimental animals include mutations, hyperthermia, burns, testicular effects, and chromosomal aberrations. In vitro effects listed include mitotic arrest, resonance absorption in methyl palmitate, pearl-chain formation, and enzyme inactivation.
