THE DETECTION OF RF DAMAGE TO HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT BIOPOLYMERS BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY
Charles A. Cody, Anthony J. Modestino, Philip J. Miller, Stanley M. Klainer · 1975
The study found that biological materials are damaged by RF radiation, but Raman spectroscopy had fluorescence and sensitivity problems while infrared techniques appeared satisfactory from preliminary data.
Plain English Summary
Researchers used a custom Raman spectrometer assembled by Block Engineering personnel to obtain Raman spectra. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Digilab FTS-15 Fourier transform spectrophotometer. The program established that biological materials do damage when exposed to RF radiation and that molecular spectroscopy methods yield data needed to generate RF radiation hazard parameters. Raman spectroscopy encountered fluorescence and sensitivity problems, while infrared techniques appeared satisfactory from preliminary data but the effect of water-rich background matrices and the ability to do micro-damage assessment were not completely known.
