Abstract

In the experiments on Wistar rats, the effects of chronic low-intensity microwave exposure to the cellular range (1–4 GHz) were evaluated in combination with multi-frequency pulse-modulated electromagnetic «noise» on the model of embryotoxic effects and analysis of postnatal development of irradiated offspring. It was shown that, in the absence of a visible pathology of pregnancy and childbirth, irradiated offspring in postnatal ontogenesis demonstrates deviations in the state of the central nervous system. Functional deficiency manifested itself in the form of emotional instability, a decrease in the motor component of an orienting-exploratory reaction and, as a result, a decrease in cognitive functions.
