To investigate the effects of 2450 MHz (continuous wave) microwave exposure on rabbits.
Blood samples and eyes were studied followed by pathological examination of inner organs. Furthermore body mass and food consumption were determined.
| Exposure | Parameters |

|---|---|
| Distance between exposed object and exposure source | 1.15 m |
| Chamber | anechoic chambers |
| Setup | Rabbits exposed in acrylic cages with their long body axis parallel to the EF. |
| Additional info | The set-up consisted of eight exposure and eight sham exposure chambers in the same room. |
