BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION – DESIGNATION OF PROJECT OFFICE

Department of the Navy, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery · 1971

The instruction designates a BUMED Project Office for Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Radiation. The project covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from cosmic rays to extremely low frequency, with primary interest in microwave and extremely low frequency areas. The mission is to provide the Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and the Operating Forces of the Navy, and other Services and agencies when requested, with information and research data concerning the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation.

THRESHOLDS FOR LENTICULAR DAMAGE IN THE RABBIT EYE DUE TO SINGLE EXPOSURE TO CW MICROWAVE RADIATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL INFORMATION AT A FREQUENCY OF 2.45 GHz

Donald I. McRee · 1971

The work reviews literature on power and time thresholds for opacity formation in the eye from continuous microwave radiation. Temperature measurements in the vitreous humor were used to develop an analytical model predicting thresholds at 2.45 GHz. Two empirical equations were derived to predict power and time thresholds as a function of frequency.

Microwave Oven Survey Results in Arkansas During 1970

William H. Oates Jr., David D. Snellings Jr., E. F. Wilson · 1970

During 1970, researchers located 413 microwave ovens in Arkansas and surveyed approximately 45 per cent of them for radiation leakage. Measurements were taken at a distance of 2 inches from the ovens using a Narda 8100 survey meter, with a 275 milliliter water test load in the center of the cooking cavity.

UHF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND HUMAN HEALTH

V. M. Malyshev, S. I. Abolonin · 1970

Acute effects involve short-term action of high inte while chronic effects involve action of low-intensity microw. Case histories document chronic disease progression after contact with UHF fields. The monograph concludes with organizational and technical preventive measures. The review notes shortcomings including an unresolved distinction between thermal and nonthermal mechanisms.

Magnetic Fields and the Number of Blood Platelets

Madeleine F. Barnothy, Jeno M. Barnothy · 1970

Researchers exposed female DBA/J2 mice to a 9,000 magnetic field for 20 days. During exposure, platelet numbers increased by 25+3 per cent early on but the difference from controls vanished by the tenth day. After removal from the field, platelet numbers increased again, repeating the early pattern.

Introduction to microwave energy principles and applications

William A. Herman · 1970

The document explains that microwave radiation interacts with biological systems mainly by heating tissue. The accepted biological damage from excessive exposure is hyperthermia, with certain organs like the eyes and testicles being most sensitive. Cataract formation in the eye occurs at power densities of hundreds of mW/cm², while testicular damage can occur at about 10 mW/cm² but is slight and recoverable.
