Possible Mechanisms for the Biomolecular Absorption of Microwave Radiation with Functional Implications

James R. Rabinovitz · 1973

The author performed a theoretical analysis of several possible modes of molecular absorption of microwave radiation. Absorption increases rotational energy, allowing segments to occupy different potential wells or tunnel between wells, changing the relative position of segments without altering covalent bonds. These non-covalent structural changes provide a model for direct interference with biomolecular functions that depend on internal three-dimensional structure.

EFFECT OF 2450 MHz MICROWAVE FIELDS ON PERIPHERAL NERVES

C.K. CHOU, ARTHUR W. GUY · 1973

The study used a waveguide filled with temperature-controlled Ringer's solution to expose nerves to CW and pulsed 2450 MHz fields. Frog and cat nerves were tested. Each exposure run lasted 20 minutes with the circulator on for the first 10 minutes and off for the final 10 minutes. Absorbed power densities ranged from 0.003 to 1.7 W/cc for CW and 0.3 to 30 W/cc peak for pulsed fields. No changes in compound action potential amplitude, conduction velocity, or excitability were observed while the circulator was on at any power level.

UHF IRRADIATION AND THE WORKER IN INDUSTRY

M. N. Sadchikov et al. · 1972

Researchers examined 59 workers with radiowave disease who were exposed to UHF electromagnetic fields up to several milliwatts per 1 em. Extracranial vessels showed a similar 48 percent reduction in hyperemia and a 57 percent increase in tone, while peripheral circulation in hands and feet remained within normal ranges. Rabbits irradiated at 50 microvolts per em2 for four hours daily over four months showed reduced phagocytic activity.

Impact of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on Soil Arthropods

Bernard Greenberg · 1972

Researchers periodically surveyed springtails and three groups of mites during summer 1971 at four habitats along the Sanguine antenna and a power substation plot, with control sites 7 to 12 miles away. Fourteen of 16 tests showed no significant differences in arthropod abundance between test and control sites. The two marginal differences each involved only one arthropod group, with one showing more springtails in the control plot and the other showing more cryptostigmatid mites in the test plot, though both differences were of doubtful significance. Midsummer population peaks occurred in both test and control plots, and community ratios remained stable over two years of antenna operation, indicating no Sanguine effect.

THE EFFECT OF MICROWAVES ON RATS SUBJECTED TO THE ACTION OF GASEOUS MEDIA WITH AN ALTERED CONTENT OF OXYGEN AND CHEMICAL AGENTS OF ANTIOXIDATIVE ACTION

V. M. Koldaev · 1972

Rats were subjected to microwave irradiation at a wavelength of 12.6 cm and frequency of 2380 Mc/s. Their resistance during inhalation of gaseous mixtures with reduced oxygen content and following introduction of some chemical agents was investigated. The duration of survival correlated with the extent of the muscle relaxant and chemical content. Chemical treatment at this level was accompanied with shortening and its increase with lengthening of the experimental period.

Radio Frequency and Microwave Radiation

Unknown authors · 1972

The guide defines radio frequency and microwave bands from 10 MHz to 300 GHz and describes common sources such as radar, communication systems, medical diathermy, and microwave ovens. It explains that microwaves interact with tissue mainly by converting electromagnetic energy to heat, with penetration depth depending on wavelength. ANSI recommends a maximum power density of 10 mW/cm² for exposures of 0.1 hour or more. ACGIH sets a threshold limit value of 10 mW/cm² for continuous exposure and 25 mW/cm² for intermittent exposure.
