The Biological effects of Microwave Radiation - A Review
W. A. Cornelius · 1978
A 1978 review discusses agreed microwave biological effects, knowledge limits for human harm, and the need for better studies.
Plain English Summary
The review briefly discusses generally agreed biological effects of microwaves. It reviews limitations of existing knowledge about harmful effects of microwaves on humans. It discusses difficulties in applying in vitro and animal data to humans. It also discusses problems of microwave dosimetry. The author states a need for further thorough, well-documented studies across exposure parameters.
Why This Matters
The review notes increasing use of microwave equipment creates potential hazard for more people. Many studies over the last two decades have produced contradictory results and confusion. Dosimetry is described as complex and often oversimplified or ignored.
