Abstract

The work evaluates the possible adverse effects on pregnancy and fetal and offspring development arising from the injection of blood serum from rats exposed to microwaves at a power density of 500 μW/cm2 into intact female rats. The study is performed on 59 pregnant Wistar rats. Intrauterine mortality, embryo and fetal body weights, and placenta weight are used for the evaluation of embryo and fetal development. Generally accepted integral and specific parameters are used for the evaluation of the postnatal development of offspring during the first 30 days of life. It is shown that injection of blood serum from rats subjected to long-term RF exposure at 500 μW/cm2 into intact rats on the tenth day of pregnancy results in adverse effects on fetal and offspring development. Higher total in utero and postnatal mortality, as well as delayed offspring development, are recorded.
