Microwave cooker hazards

not clearly visible · 1970

Microwave ovens usually generate about 1500 watts of radiation at either 915 or 2450 megahertz, with the former near the most dangerous frequency and the latter near the most dangerous frequency for cataracts. A government survey of 155 microwave ovens in hospitals, restaurants, and homes revealed 51 with excessive radiation leakage. Officials described the industry as relatively new and doubted significant health damage had occurred, but the article calls this complacent attitude widespread and unjustified.

Occupational Aspects of Non-Ionizing Radiant Energy Exposure—Thresholds and Standards

Sol M. Michaelson · 1970

The author reviews the pathophysiology of exposure to ultraviolet, infrared, coherent electromagnetic radiation (laser), microwaves, and radio-frequency radiation, including critical organs and thresholds. The paper discusses the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, which prompted renewed interest in biological effects of electromagnetic radiation.

RF RADIATION HAZARDS TO SPACE STATION PERSONNEL

R. A. Inman · 1970

The purpose of this document is to examine the possible levels of RF radiation to which personnel on the space station and similar spacecraft might be exposed. The memo noted that formation of cataracts in the eyes of both experimental animals and man has been demonstrated after exposure for a few minutes. The memo concluded that personnel working in the field of these antennas should be protected from overexposure to this radiation.

THE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY OF MONGOLISM IN BALTIMORE

Bernice H. Cohen, Abraham M. Lilienfeld · 1970

Mothers of children with mongolism reported significantly less often having no radiation exposure (50% vs 59.9%) than control mothers. The estimated relative risk for maternal radiation exposure was 1.5, corresponding to an attributable risk of 17%. Fathers of mongol children more often reported radar exposure (8.75%) than control fathers (3.3%), a difference of borderline significance.
