Yes, if I may. This committee is not a place to look at the technical issues that are associated with information like the example from our colleague from Greece.
It has always been my opinion that there are difficulties in a lot of the in vitro studies that are done, because there is not enough consideration taken for the fact that the actual distribution of energy within the exposure chambers that are being used, be it for cellular or animal studies, or even the human measurements that have been done in the case of some of the military and industrial studies.... There has not been enough consideration given to the non-uniformities in distribution.
But all of us are familiar with the use of a microwave oven, and we know that you have hot spots in a microwave oven. They all have turntables in order to average out the exposure situation. So when there is attributed a tenth of a microwatt per square centimetre to the average exposure level for a given sample, that does not necessarily reflect the individual sensitivity of individual elements within that sample, be that 10,000 cells or whatever.
