MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARD TO AIRCRAFT TRANSITING RADIO AND RADAR BEAMS
Bioeffects Seen
John J. Kulik · 1963
Finding
aircraft not carrying electroexplosive devices may be safely exposed to average power densities of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (10 mw/cm²) or less. Aircraft carrying electroexplosive devices may, be safely exposed, under some conditions, to power densities of 1.0 mw/cm².
In their words
“aircraft not carrying electroexplosive devices may be safely exposed to average power densities of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter (10 mw/cm²) or less. Aircraft carrying electroexplosive devices may, be safely exposed, under some conditions, to power densities of 1.0 mw/cm².”
Exposure Details
- Power Density
- 10 mw/cm2
Exposure Context
This study used 10 mw/cm2 for radio frequency:
- 1,000Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 16.7Mx above the BioInitiative Report recommendation of 0.0006 μW/cm²
Building Biology guidelines are practitioner-based limits from real-world assessments. BioInitiative Report recommendations are based on peer-reviewed science. Check Your Exposure to compare your own measurements.
