ID Number		914
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		2.45, 8.5 to 9.6 GHz (CW, PW) exposure to yeast and bacteria and analysis of mutation and viability
Details		S. cerevisiae and S. typhimurium strains were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) or 8.5-9.6 GHz (PW- 1000 Hz pulse repetition rate, 0.001 duty cycle) for 1.5 - 2 hours at SARs of up to 40 W/kg. Exposure did not result in any effect on mutation rate or mitotic gene conversion, although at higher SARs a temperature dependent decrease in viability was observed.
Findings		No Effects (even at thermal levels)
Status		Completed With Publication
Principal Investigator		Howard University, USA - sdutta@fac.howard.edu
