Abstract Title: 

GSM 900 MHz microwave radiation affects embryo development of Japanese quails.

Abstract: 

A wide range of non thermal biological effects of microwave radiation (MW) was revealed during the last decades. A number of reports showed evident hazardous effects of MW on embryo development in chicken. In this study, we aimed at elucidating the effects of MW emitted by a commercial model of GSM 900 MHz cell phone on embryo development in quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) during both short and prolonged exposure. For that, fresh fertilized eggs were irradiated during the first 38 h or 14 days of incubation by a cell phone in"connecting"mode activated continuously through a computer system. Maximum intensity of incident radiation on the egg's surface was 0.2μW/cm2.The irradiation led to a significant (p
