Bioeffects Seen

Sol M. Michaelson, Roderick A. E. Thomson, Joe W. Howland · 1967

Share:

The report describes biologic effects of electromagnetic radiation from 100 Mc to 300,000 Mc based on studies at 200 Mc, 1240 Mc, and 2800 Mc conducted between 1958 and 1965.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The research followed the National Society for Medical Research Principles of Laboratory Animal Care and the American Physiological Society Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals. Dosimetry and instrumentation evaluation were not objectives of the study.

Why This Matters

The authors combined their own observations with data from other investigators to assess the state of knowledge on radar hazards. The work was carried out by Howland, Michaelson, and Thomson with assistance from several technical staff members.
