ABSTRACT

The influence of electromagnetic radiation with frequency of 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz on the concentration of calcium in exfoliated cells of buccal epithelium was studied. The cells were exposed to microwave radiation at two frequencies (frequency 1.8 GHz, surface power density 2.5 μW/cm2, as well as frequency 2.4 GHz, surface power density 2.3 μW/cm2). After exposure to microwaves for 1, 2 and 3 hours immediately or after a delay of 1 or 2 hours, the calcium concentration in cells was assessed by means of staining with fluorescent dye Fluo-3. The phenomenon of cells with microwaves caused a decrease in calcium. Biological and medical implications are discussed.
