Problems and Perspectives in Microwave Research
Authors not listed · 1974
A critical review finds a large body of dependable data on microwave bioeffects but no incontrovertible evidence of subtle, longterm, or cumulative effects.
Plain English Summary
Many investigations suffer from inadequacies of either technical facilities and energy measurement skills or insufficient control of the biological specimens and the criteria for biological change. A large body of dependable data on the biologic effects of microwave exposure has been accumulated without any incontrovertible evidence of subtle, longterm, or cumulative effects. The apparent differences in U.S. and Eastern European standards are based not on actual factual information but on differences in basic philosophy. These differences appear in the areas of industrial hygiene, basic scientific research, and reporting of scientific data.
Exposure Details
- Power Density
- 1.0 mW/cm²
- Exposure Duration
- 2 hours
Exposure Context
This study used 1.0 mW/cm² for radio frequency:
- 100,000Mx above the Building Biology guideline of 0.1 μW/m²
- 1,666.7Mx 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.
