The influence of microwave electromagnetic irradiation on human buccal epithelium cell nucleus was studied. Experimental conditions: frequency f=36,65 GHz, power density at the surface of exposed object P=10 and 100 μW/cm2, exposure time – 10 seconds. Effects of three variants of electromagnetic wave polarization – linear, elliptical left-sided and elliptical right-sided polarizations were studied. Isolated human buccal epithelium cells were used. Cells were stained immediately after irradiation by orcein. As a measure of chromatin condensation the heterochromatin granule quantity (HGQ) was estimated. The more intense irradiation produces more chromatin condensation. The right-sided elliptically polarized irradiation demonstrates more biological activity, than the left-sided polarized one.
