Model		835.62 MHz (CDMA), 847.74 MHz (FM) exposure to C3H 10T1/2 cells and analysis of micronuclei formation
Details		C3H 10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts were exposed to 835.62 MHz (CDMA) or 847.74 MHz (FM) RF for 24 hours at ~5 W/kg in an RTL exposure system. Cells were blocked in mitosis with cytochalasin B and scored using acridine orange to visualize micronuclei. No effects were observed in exponentially growing or transition phase cells with either CDMA or FM exposure. No effects were observed at 3, 8, or 16 hours with either CDMA or FM exposure. Only with CDMA exposure at 5 W/kg in plateau phase cells was a very slight (0.66%) increase in micronuclei above sham treated controls observed, but this was not statistically significant. The authors interpret the data as MW exposure at the levels used in this study as having no significant effect on micronuclei formation.
