BIOMEDICAL ASPECTS OF RADIO FREQUENCY AND MICROWAVE RADIATION: A REVIEW OF SELECTED SOVIET, EAST EUROPEAN, AND WESTERN REFERENCES

Zorach R. Glaser, Christopher H. Dodge · 1969

The review compared Soviet and East European literature with Western literature and found a major disagreement over whether nonthermal effects occur below 10 mW/cm2. Occupational exposure standards reflected this divide, with the Soviet limit at 0.01 mW/cm2 and the U.S. limit at 10 mW/cm2 for continuous exposure. Western research was beginning to investigate effects below 10 mW/cm2, but the review noted persistent dosimetry and control-group problems in epidemiological studies.

On the Etiology of Disorders Caused by Combined Ultrahigh Frequency Electromagnetic Waves

Petrov IR · 1968

The study examined disorders caused by combined ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic waves, using measurement of electromagnetic fields, biological monitoring, and epidemiological approaches. Effects were observed in human subjects and animal models. Exposure to these fields was found to lead to changes in biological systems, including alterations in cellular and molecular structures. Specific findings included impacts on nervous system function, DNA damage, and other physiological responses.

Inhibition of Bacterial Cell Growth by 136 gc Microwaves

S. J. Webb, D. D. Dodds · 1968

Researchers exposed Escherichia coli B to 136 gc microwaves at about 10 W for up to 4 hours. When cells were exposed immediately after washing, no cell divisions occurred but cell counts did not decrease. When cells were pre-incubated for 90 minutes before exposure, cell numbers approximately doubled before inhibition began.

Microwave Techniques in Biophysical Measurements

P. O. Vogelhut · 1968

The paper describes microwave techniques for investigating the role of water in living systems, including differential volumetric techniques and Faraday rotation. Faraday rotation measurements on hemoglobin at various hydration levels found a critical hydration level of 0.13 g H,O/g Hb where hydrogen bonds form and the rotation angle decreases exponentially. Experiments to measure bound water changes during enzyme-substrate interactions are in progress, and the technique was applied to ATP-actinomyosin interaction measuring water expelled during the reaction.

The most important biological effect of microwave exposure is the conversion of absorbed energy into heat. Thermal effects are well documented while evidence for nonthermal effects is only suggestive.
