Abstrakt: The article investigates the cytogenic end-points, in vitro alkaline comet assay and in vitro chromosome aberration (CA) test, on mammalian cells exposed to 835-megahertz (MHz) radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) alone and in combination with known model clastogens. An apparatus based on the theory of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave was used to expose the mouse lymphoma cells to an 835-MHz RF-EMF. Radio frequency was oscillated and then amplified to give proper specific absorption rate (SAR) value. In vitro alkaline comet assay and in vitro chromosome aberration test results were ascertained after exposure.
