Female Sprague-Dawley (CD) rats were exposed to 2450-MHz (CW) microwave radiation at incident power densities of 0 or 28 mW/cm2 for 100 min daily on the 6th through 15th day of gestation. The whole-body specific absorption rate at 28 mW/cm2 is estimated to be 4.2 W/kg. These exposure conditions raised rats' average colonic temperatures to 40.3 degrees C at the end of irradiation. There were 67 sham-irradiated and 70 microwave-irradiated females. When these groups were compared, no significant differences were found in pregnancy rates; in the numbers of live, dead, or total fetuses; in the incidences of external, visceral, or skeletal anomalies or variations; or in the body weight of live fetuses. It is concluded that these conditions do not have an effect on the gross structure of the fetal rat when applied repetitively during post-implantation pregnancy. It is also strongly suspected that this lack of an effect may hold true at any exposure level less than that which will kill a significant number of the dams by hyperthermia (colonic temperature greater than 40 degrees C).
在妊娠第6天至第15天，将雌性斯普拉格 - 道利（CD）大鼠每天暴露于入射功率密度为0或28 mW/cm²的2450 MHz（连续波）微波辐射下100分钟。估计在28 mW/cm²时的全身比吸收率为4.2 W/kg。这些暴露条件在辐照结束时使大鼠的平均结肠温度升高至40.3摄氏度。有67只假辐照雌性大鼠和70只微波辐照雌性大鼠。比较这些组时，在妊娠率、活胎、死胎或总胎数、外部、内脏或骨骼异常或变异的发生率以及活胎体重方面未发现显著差异。得出的结论是，在植入后妊娠期间重复应用这些条件对胎鼠的总体结构没有影响。还强烈怀疑，在任何低于因体温过高（结肠温度高于40摄氏度）而导致大量母鼠死亡的暴露水平下，这种无影响的情况可能都是成立的。
