Neurological effects of microwave exposure related to mobile communication review

Endpoint

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA strand breaks
• molecular biosynthesis: heat shock protein mRNA; c-Fos expression
• cell viability/cell division/proliferation: ATP, creatine phosphate and NADH concentration
• cell function: membrane conductance, amplitude and velocity of compound action potentials; calcium release; ATPase activity
• effects on the neurological system: EEG, evoked auditory potentials; neurotransmitter (acetylcholine, norepinephrine) concentrations; blood brain barrier permeability

Exposure

• • 2.45 GHz
  • microwaves
• • AM amplitude modulation
  • CW continuous wave
  • PW pulsed wave
  • mobile communications
  • GSM
