HEMODYNAMIC INDICES DURING THE ACTION OF SUPER-HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Monayenkova, A. M., Sadchikova, M. N. · 1966
Soviet scientists in 1966 found microwave radiation significant enough to affect human blood circulation and heart function.
Plain English Summary
This 1966 Soviet technical report examined how super-high frequency electromagnetic fields (microwaves) affect blood circulation and cardiovascular function in humans. The research focused on measuring hemodynamic indices, which track blood flow, pressure, and heart function during microwave exposure. This represents early scientific recognition that microwave radiation could influence the cardiovascular system.
Why This Matters
This 1966 Soviet research represents crucial early evidence that microwave radiation affects human cardiovascular function. While we don't have the specific findings, the fact that researchers were measuring hemodynamic changes during microwave exposure tells us they observed cardiovascular effects significant enough to warrant detailed study. This is particularly relevant today because the microwave frequencies studied in 1966 are similar to those used by WiFi routers, cell towers, and microwave ovens.
What makes this study especially important is its timing. In 1966, microwave technology was far less prevalent than today, yet Soviet scientists were already investigating cardiovascular impacts. The reality is that your daily exposure to microwave radiation now far exceeds what people experienced in 1966, yet modern safety standards largely ignore cardiovascular effects, focusing only on heating.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
