Abstract :
This work presents the results obtained by further experiments consisting in irradiation of human blood samples with high frequency low power density electromagnetic waves (2.45 GHz / 0.025... 10 mW/cm2). The effect was studied by measuring the induced hemolysis of the exposed erythrocytes compared to controls. As a general result one confirm the observations and the conclusions of [1] indicating that the hemoglobin loss from the microwave irradiated cells is due to the membrane permeabilisation of the exposed erythrocytes rather than to their lysis
