Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between microwave radiation exposure during pregnancy and the offspring health. Methods The pregnant Kunming mice were divided into 3 groups and exposed to microwave radiation of 0, 570 and 1 400 ?W/cm2 respectively. The bone marrow cells of the offspring were collected for the determination of chromosome aberration (CA), sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronucleus frequency (MNF). Results SCE showed a significant change in high intensity group, as for CA and MNF, no significant change was seen compared with the control. Conclusion Microwave radiation exposure during pregnancy may induce germ plasm damages in the offspring.
