Translations summarizing some recent Soviet articles

Chris Dodge · 1973

The study examined 20 rabbit eyes with one eye per rabbit serving as a control. Microwave exposure caused cataracts on the posterior cortical layers near the horizontal suture appearing as lace-like structures that were regressable. Microscopic examination confirmed the reversibility of the microwave-induced cataracts.

We want you to know about microwave oven radiation

Unknown authors · 1973

The publication explains that microwaves are a nonionizing form of electromagnetic energy between radio waves and infrared waves. Most studies have shown no significant nutritional differences between microwave and conventional cooking methods. No documented radiation injuries have occurred from microwave ovens used according to manufacturer instructions, although pacemaker interference has been associated with proximity to operating ovens. The FDA established a radiation control standard requiring ovens manufactured after October 6, 1971 to limit emissions and have two safety interlocks. Ovens meeting the federal standard are considered safe for home use when operated according to instructions.

PROBLEM OF EVALUATION OF EEG FINDING IN RELATION TO THE GRADE OF EXPOSURE TO USW RADIOWAVES

Styblova V., Holovska V., Spondova V., Zubrik L. · 1973

The mean daily irradiation value was 30.7 with a range of 6.5 to 97.1, and the measurement error was stated as + 30%. No significant differences in EEG findings were found between the exposed group and the control group. A significant coincidence was found between headache incidence and EEG abnormality percentage, particularly for migraine. The authors concluded that electromagnetic energy at the exposure dose did not damage the central nervous system and that EEG abnormalities should be assessed in relation to migraine incidence.

Mathematics of Interaction Between Blood and Electromagnetic Fields

Abul Rashid · 1973

The author reviews electromagnetic energy effects on human systems and proposes blood-electromagnetic interaction as the basic mechanism for unexplained effects. Equations are also presented relating the change in velocity, density, pressure and temperature of blood when it is exposed to electromagnetic fields. The author notes that no attempt was made to solve the equations and that experimental validation is needed.

Caloric Vestibular Stimulation via UHF-Microwave Irradiation

Robert M. Lebovitz · 1973

The paper proposes that absorbed microwave radiation creates thermal gradients in the semicircular canals, producing convective torque that mimics natural vestibular simulation. The analysis derives a detection threshold of 35 mW/cm², which may be significantly lower when resonance absorption occurs in small heads. Nystagmus onset is predicted at incident power densities between 100 and 400 mW/cm² depending on intracranial absorption patterns.
