The Effect of Microwaves on the Central Nervous System

W. Bergman · 1965

The study reports that centimeter-wave microwaves affect circulation, respiration, temperature control, water balance, albumin and sugar concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, hydrogen ion concentration, EEG, GSR, sleep, and conscious awareness. Depending on dosage, the waves stimulate either the sympathetic or parasympathetic system. Undamped or modulated frequencies are more effective than damped waves, and biological effects result from resonance absorption in ganglia.

On measurements of the intensity of ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic irradiations in relation to their medical evaluation

Sevast'ianov VV · 1965

The article appears in Voen Med Zh 7:21-5 (Rus). It examines frequencies of 300 and 390 in the ultrahigh frequency range.

Dosimetry of Radio-frequency and Microwave Radiation in Mammals

Verser, F.A. · 1965

The technical objective was to determine the reflection and absorption characteristics of the human body when exposed to microwave radiation. Transmission characteristics of a sample in a waveguide were measured starting with X-band and the work was planned to extend to other frequencies, modes, and pulsed radiation.

Relationship of Environmental Factors to Lenticular Changes in Microwave Workers

S. F. Cleary, B. S. Pasternack, M. Eisenbud · 1964

Researchers examined 736 microwave workers and 559 controls for subclinical lens defects using ophthalmologic examination. Lens defect incidence increased linearly with age in both groups but at a significantly greater rate in microwave workers, attributable to lens opacity and posterior polar defects correlated with exposure parameters. A retrospective study of 2,946 cataract cases and 2,164 controls found no significant increase in relative risk of cataract formation associated with military radar work.

SKIN AND SUBCUTANEOUS TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING EXPOSURE TO INTENSE THERMAL RADIATION

J.A.J. Stolwijk, J.D. Hardy · 1964

Researchers exposed human subjects to intense thermal radiation from quartz lamps at 0.15 gm cal/sec/cm² and measured skin temperature changes with a radiometer. For longer exposures, vasodilation and sweating slowed the skin temperature rise. Subcutaneous temperatures could be calculated from surface data, with most radiation absorbed in the first 0.05-0.15 mm of skin, though some near 1μ penetrated to 5 mm or more.
