Human leukocyte functions and the U.S. safety standard for exposure to radio-frequency radiation

NJ Roberts Jr, ST Lu, and SM Michaelson

Human mononuclear leukocytes were exposed to microwaves at energies relevant to current public safety recommendations. No detectable effects on viability or function of the leukocytes resulted from exposure to microwaves at specific absorption rates up to 4 milliwatts per milliliter. The results were highly reproducible and provided no evidence that current safety standard recommendations are inappropriate insofar as leukocyte function is concerned.
