✦ Synopsis

This paper focuses on the combined effects of microwaves from mobile communication frequencies and a chemical DNA damaging agent mitomycin C (MMC). The investigation was performed in vitro by exposing whole blood samples to a 954 MHz emitting antenna from a G S M (Global System For Mobile Communication) base station, followed by lymphocyte cultivation in the presence of M M C . A highly reproducible synergistic effect was observed as based on the frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges in rnetaphase figures. o 1996
