EXPERIMENTAL INJURY TO THE EYE WITH ULTRA-HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

A. P. Balutina · 1965

Researchers exposed 20 rabbits to a 1-cm range UHF-field at 120 mW/cm² for 20 to 50 minutes per session, repeated 69 times. No new lens opacities appeared, but pre-existing congenital opacities in 9 of 20 rabbits were distinctly enhanced, especially in lenses with posterior subcapsular cataract. In 7 of 9 affected rabbits the enhanced opacities resolved beginning 14-21 days after the last exposure.

ELECTRICAL EFFECTS IN BONE

C. ANDREW L. BASSETT · 1965

Researchers found that bone produces electric current when bent or compressed, a property called piezoelectricity. Removing mineral crystals from bone reduced the electrical output, suggesting collagen alone is not the main source of electric charge. In dogs with implanted electrodes, new bone grew only around the negative electrode.

Microwaves Inhibit Bread Mold

Carl M. Olsen · 1965

Viable spore counts dropped from about 1,486 to 0.143 colonies per plate for Penicillium and from about 2,000 to 0.188 for Aspergillus niger, while Rhizopus growth fell from fully covered plates to 21.4% of plates showing growth. Non-inoculated microwave-treated loaves remained nearly free of mold for 21 days, whereas untreated loaves with preservative were fully moldy within 12 days. Microwave treatment was far more effective than sodium propionate at preventing mold growth.

Development of Rad Haz suit and RF measuring techniques, SF-013-15-04

Rutkowski A, Christianson C · 1965

A prototype RAD HAZ suit was developed through the joint efforts of NSRDF and NAVAPLSCIENLAB to protect naval personnel required to operate in hazardous RF environments on ships and at shore installations. The suit's silverized nylon material withstood laundering, dry cleaning, weathering, abrasion, and open-sea environments without degradation of RF attenuation. The prototype suit provided better than 20 dB attenuation for high-power fields at BMEWS frequency with a power density of 200 mw/sq. cm, and field evaluation showed good performance with no meter deflection or visible arcing.

Lasers and masers—health hazards and their control

Roswell G. Daniels, Bernard Goldstein · 1965

Host factors influencing damage include tissue pigmentation, blood circulation, and spectral absorption, with melanin increasing absorption and blood flow reducing heat damage. Workers frequently exposed to laser discharges should be included in an occupational vision program with thorough ophthalmologic examinations.
