Abstract :
This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the effects of radiation, in the microwave range, on laboratory rats of species Rattus norvegicus. The experiments were carried out for 2.45 GHz frequency, using a power density of 1.6 mW/cm2 (which represents the maximum security level adopted by international regulatory bodies, for human beings submitted to radiation for that frequency), applied for a period of one hour, every day. During the development of the project several experiments were performed, among them one can cite: monitoring water and food consumption, weighing of the guinea pigs, hematocrit, anatomic and pathologic exams, observation of alterations on the estral cycle of females and effects on the number of offspring produced.
