Abstract

Overview

The study utilized a radiophysical installation with an operating frequency of 915 MHz to investigate the effects of microwave radiation on biological entities, specifically mice with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma.

Findings

• The intensity of microwave radiation significantly affects tumor growth in laboratory animals.
• Exposure varied across groups with different rates of tumor growth observed, indicating a dosage-dependent relationship.
• Control group animals showed the highest tumor growth followed by those exposed to 100 µW/cm2, with the lowest growth observed in the 10 µW/cm2 exposure group.
• Differences in growth rates tended to converge once the tumor cells reached a count of approximately 15,000.

Conclusion

Even low-intensity microwave radiation has a potent effect on tumor progression, potentially altering the life expectancy of the affected animals. This raises concerns about the safety and health risks associated with electromagnetic field exposure.
