Study Type In Vitro
Model 2450 MHz (CW) exposure to human erythrocytes and analysis of hemaglobin loss
Details

Human erythrocytes were isolated from 6 volunteers. Samples were individually exposed to 2450 MHz CW RF for up to 60 hours at a field strength of 0.025 - 10 mW/cm2 in a temperature controled 4 degree water bath. Released hemaglobin was measured spectrophotometrically in the supernatant following exposure. The authors report that in some RBC samples irradiated at the higher power densities, increases in hemaglobin release of up to 80% were observed in comparison to controls. It should be noted that significant variability in the response of certian samples to exposure was observed, and a detailed description of exactly how and where temperature measurements were made during exposures was not supplied.
