ID Number		783
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to rabbits and monkeys and analysis of eye pathology
Details		Monkeys were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) at power densities of 15.9 to 43 mW/cm2 without anesthesia. No effects on corneal endothelial abnormalities were observed. In studies with rabbits, acute effects were found to be reversible
Findings		Effects (only at thermal levels)
Status		Completed With Publication
Principal Investigator		Nippon Veterinary & Animal Science Univ, Japan
Funding Agency		Telecom Adv Foundation
Country		JAPAN

Comments		The authors comment that their results are in direct conflict with reports of corneal endothelial damage at 30 mW/cm2 reported by Kues et al (Bioelectromagnetics 1985, 6:177-188), and that this might have been a result of the PW exposures or anesthesia used by Kues.
