Evidence for Nonthermal Effects of Microwave Radiation: Abnormal Development of Irradiated Insect Pupae

Russell L. Carpenter, Elliot M. Livstone · 1971

The study irradiated early pupae of the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor with 10-GHz CW radiation at waveguide powers of 80 mW for 20 or 30 minutes or 20 mW for 120 minutes. In control groups without microwave power, 90 percent of pupae metamorphosed into normal adult beetles, while in irradiated groups only .24 percent developed normally, 25 percent died, and 51 percent developed abnormally. When the thermal conditions were duplicated by radiant heating, pupal development was normal.

ON THE POSSIBILITY OF NONTHERMAL BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

LAWRENCE D. SHER, EDWARD KRESCH, HERMAN P. SCHWAN · 1970

The study examined two mechanisms for alternating electrical fields interacting with biological tissue: heat development and field-induced force effects. For continuous wave fields in physiologic media, heating above 1°C always occurs before any field-induced force effect can appear. Using pearl-chain formation as a model, the researchers demonstrated that pulsed fields offer no greater likelihood than CW fields of equal RMS strength for producing pearl-chain formation.
