View Original AbstractHigh-level 60 GHz exposure caused no detectable eye damage in animals, but only immediate structural damage was assessed.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rabbits and monkeys to 60 GHz millimeter wave radiation at 10 mW/cm² for either 8 hours straight or 4 hours daily for five days, then examined their eyes for damage using microscopes. They found no detectable eye damage from either exposure pattern. This suggests that millimeter wave radiation at this power level doesn't cause immediate eye injury in laboratory animals.
Study Details
This study was designed to examine ocular effects associated with exposure to millimeter waves (60 GHz).
Rabbits served as the primary experimental subjects. To confirm the results of the rabbit experiment...
Neither microscopic examinations nor the diagnostic procedures performed on the eyes of acute and re...
On the basis of our results, we conclude that single or repeated exposure to 60 GHz CW radiation at 10 mW/cm(2) does not result in any detectable ocular damage.
