Summary:
This animal study examined whether microwave radiation causes any cognitive impairment and effects on the heat shock protein level (usually released when cells are in stress). Rats were either not exposed or exposed to microwave radiation at three different frequencies (900, 1800 and 2450 megaherts, MHz), for 2 hours per day, for 180 days. The specific absorption rate (SAR) used for the exposure was thousands of times below the Australian exposure limit. The authors found that there was a slight decline in cognitive function and an increase in the heat shock protein level.
