Summary:
This is an animal study investigating the long term effects of chronic microwave radiation on cognitive function. Rats were either exposed or sham to 2.856 gigahertz (GHz) microwaves with the average power density level of 5, 10, 20 or 30 milliwatts per square centimetre (mW/cm2) for 6 minutes, three times a week for up to 6 weeks. The authors suggested that in the long-term, chronic microwave exposure could induce dose dependent deficit of spatial learning and memory in rats.
