  • Abstract
    A series of reports from Lund, Sweden, based on observed leakages of endogenous serum albumin in blood, suggested that repeated exposure to microwave radiation from GSM cellular telephones could alter the permeability of the blood-brain barrier at SARs that were well below the maximum permissible level for cellular telephones. While an effort to confirm had failed at SARs of 0.3-1.5 W/kg, it had confirmed extravasation of serum albumin at 7.5 W/kg: a level about four times greater than the maximum permissible level for cellular telephones. Currently, there is considerable interest from several laboratories around the world in replicating the reported occurrence of abnormal neurons in the rat brain resulting from leakage of endogenous serum albumin.
