Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to chicken eggs and analysis of growth and development
Details		Chick eggs were exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) microwaves at a power density of 3.46 mW/cm2 during incubation. Exposure resulted in a temperature dependent decrease in cranial length and wet mass of the hatchlings. When temperature was maintained at 32 degrees, however, cranial length and wet mass increased and growth rate decreased in microwave exposed chicks. The authors suggest a non-thermal mechanism of the MW exposure on chick growth and development.
