Effects of Chronic Microwave Irradiation on Mice

S. Prausnitz, C. Susskind · 1962

Two hundred male mice were exposed daily for 59 weeks to 0.100 w/cm’ for 4.5 minutes, producing an average body temperature rise of 3.3°C. A control group of 100 mice was sham-irradiated in a mock-up chamber at room temperature. Longevity did not differ between groups, with mortality slightly higher in controls. Body weight, body temperature response, and blood picture showed no evident changes. Testicular degeneration (tubule atrophy) was found in 40 per cent of dead irradiated mice versus 8 per cent of controls, and white cell neoplasms (leucosis) in 35 per cent versus 10 per cent.

EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION ON ACTIVITY LEVEL OF RATS

SUZY EAKIN, WILLIAM D. THOMPSON · 1962

A sweep generator swept frequencies from 450 to 67965 mc and directed UHF waves at five rat cages placed 53.0 inches away to compare photo-cell activity with spontaneous activity measured immediately after exposure. Activity was detected by a light source and photo-electric cell in each cage, with counters automatically recording activity rates. Cages measured 18 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 18 inches high, with wire screen sides and hardware cloth floors. On the final day, radiation treatment yielded F = 2.07 with P < .93.

THE EFFECT OF MICROWAVES ON THE HORMONAL ACTIVITY OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX

F. L. Leites, L. A. Skurikhina · 1961

Control rats had a stable adrenal ascorbic acid concentration of 7.92±0.165 granules per tuberous zone cell. One hour after exposure ascorbic acid granules per cell were 7.95±0.138, then fell to a minimum of 5.77±0.152 at 24 hours. By one week the level approached the original value (8.05±0.161) and by two weeks it did not essentially differ (7.96±0.176).
