Effects of Exposure to Microwaves: Problems and Perspectives
Sol M. Michaelson · 1974
Most experimental data supported the concept that the effects of microwave exposure are primarily, if not only, a response to hyperthermia or altered thermal gradients in the body. Extensive investigations showed that for frequencies between 200 and 24,500 MHz, exposure to power density greater than 100 mW/cm? for 1 hr or more could have pathophysiologic manifestations of a thermal nature. At power densities less than 100 mW/cm?, evidence of pathologic change was described as nonexistent or equivocal.
