This work is a continuation of studies designed to answer the question of whether radiofrequency radiation (RFR) at lower power levels (no greater than 10 mW/sq cm), where measurable heating in the exposure system cannot be detected, causes any transient or permanent alteration in series of subtle biochemical processes elicited in the DNA of mammalian cells. The specific process(es) being studied are: the effects of RFR on repair synthesis in normal human fibroblasts after ultraviolet light damage of the DNA; and the possible induction by RFR of sister chromatid exchanges or chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. Additional information obtained in the latter studies includes any effects on cell viability (by cloning efficiency) or on cell growth (increase in cell number).
