A sister chromatid exchange assay was utilized to investigate potential mutagenic bioeffects of microwave (2450 MHz) radiation on mouse bone marrow cells.

|---|---|
| Chamber | Environmental chamber lined with microwave absorber maintained at 22°C and 55 % humidity. |
| Setup | Animals kept in 2.54 cm thick Styrofoam cages / 5 cm x 8 cm x 10 cm with the long axis of the cage and the animal parallel to electric field. |
| Additional info | The cages were mounted in slots cut in a large Styrofoam sheet. The cages were located in a circular pattern and the animals were rotated around the circle of cages every 4 h. Control animals was kept in another enviromental chamber identical to the exposure chamber but the animals were not handled and remained in their home cages during the whole exposure period. |
| Measurand | Value | Type | Method | Mass | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAR | 15.6 mW/g | minimum | calculated | whole body | 26.80 W/kg maximum value. |
| power density | 200 W/m² | mean | measured | - | - |
No statistically significant differences in the numbers of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were detected between the exposed animals and the control mice.
