Drosophila melanogaster viability and mutability under the influence of low energy microwave monochromatic and ultra wideband impulse field

The influence of microwave radiation (int = 35 GHz, intensity P = 30, 70, 180, 265 mW /cm²) and ultra wideband irradiation at irradiation intensity of 10^-5, 10^-4, 10 ^-3, and 10^-2 W/cm² on stocks of Drosophila melanogaster was investigated. Irradiation was performed on the stage of egg< exposure time was 10 sec... Irradiation by monochromatic radiation (35 GHz) of intensity 70, 180 and 265 mW/cm² negatively influences upon the viability of Drosophila. No viability decrease registered after ultra wideband irradiation. Monochromatic microwave radiation induced dominant lethal mutations (DLM). The effect of radiation depends on state of polarizations of radiation. Linear polarized radiation and right circular polarized radiation induce more DLM than left circular polarized radiation. Ultra wideband .impulse radiation induced no significant decrease of Drosophila viability. Incidence of DLM increased after ultra wideband impulse irradiation at the intensity 10^-4 and 10^-2 W/cm².
