Non-ionizing radiation - the physical relationship between typical sources and human targets

A. G. Hunt · 1969

The author interprets typical radiation sources as applied to human targets and identifies deficiencies in applying available information to determine safe working levels. Laser radiation problems are discussed with particular attention drawn to the critical near infra-red region. The paper suggests improved data is required for spectral biological effects at all wavelengths with emphasis on damage threshold levels.

Radiation Exposure Overview - Microwave Ovens and the Public

Marvin Rosenstein, Warren A. Brill, Charles K. Showalter · 1969

Field surveys of 494 microwave oven units found that 109 units, or 22 percent, emitted radiation greater than 10 mW/cm² under normal operating conditions. Laboratory measurements demonstrated that power densities exceeding 700 mW/cm² could be produced if door safety interlocks failed or were defeated and the door was wide open. No specific performance standard for microwave oven exposure had been promulgated at the time of the report. Known human bioeffects from microwave exposure at levels of several mW/cm² to several hundred mW/cm² included temporary sterility in males, eye cataracts, and blood changes. A single case report described a microwave oven repairman with a recurrent hemorrhagic eruption that was suggested as possibly caused by microwave energy from microwave ovens.
