Biological Effects and Health Implications of Microwave Radiation
Stephen F. Cleary · 1969
The symposium’s primary goal was to provide an indication of the present state of the art in biological effects of microwave radiation.
Plain English Summary
The symposium was convened to provide an indication of the present state of the art in biological effects of microwave radiation. There is a great deal of uncertainty concerning the effects of low-intensity microwave and radio-frequency radiation on the mammalian central nervous system. The lack of measurement standards makes intercomparison of data from different investigators difficult or impossible. Federal responsibility for radiation control was established under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
Why This Matters
The introductory comments raised the question of whether thermal effects of microwaves are fully understood. The significance of the alternating magnetic field component of the electromagnetic wave is not completely understood.
