Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to mice and analysisi of cancer and pathology (2-year bioassay)
Details		C3H/HeJ (female) mice (n=100) were exposed to 2450-MHz CW RF for 20 hr/day, 7 day/wk for 18 months at a whole body average SAR of 0.3 W/kg in a circularly polarized waveguide system (Guy et al. Radio Sci 14:63-74, 1979). There was no statistically significant change in mammary tumor development, and not statistically significant increase in the incidence of any other tumor type between the exposed and sham groups. There was a greater incidence of alveolar/bronchial adenomas in sham-exposed animals as compared to exposed, however. The incidence of total tumor numbers was not compared between exposed and sham exposed. In a follow-up study, SAR was increased from 0.3 W/kg to 1.0 W/kg and the same biological end points were studied in C3H/HeJ mice (n=100). As before, no increases due to exposure were observed.
