EFFECTS OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS ON THE LIVING CELL I. BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES IN HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS AND ITS RELATION TO THEIR AGE

A. A. FUREDI, I. OHAD · 1964

Researchers exposed human erythrocytes to a 120 megacycles/sec electric field for 1-5 sec. Young erythrocytes in hypotonic sucrose elongated parallel to the field by 2-4 times the normal cell diameter and rotated without changing direction. Old erythrocytes did not elongate or rotate but formed chains parallel to the field, with less than 10% of old cells showing elongation versus more than 90% of young cells.

Research on Effects of Thermal Radiation on Human Skin

James D. Hardy, Harold T. Hammel · 1963

The study found that 3 cm microwave radiation in short high intensity pulses is more stimulating than non-penetrating infrared radiation. Researchers deduced that 3 cm microwave radar antennae should provide ample warning of exposure because the radiation stimulates strong sensations of warmth and heat. Exposing large body areas to high intensity thermal radiation was very alarming to naive individuals and could cause immediate disruption of work even when not painful.

Human response to very low-frequency electromagnetic energy

Frey AH · 1963

Researchers measured alternating electric fields at a VLF transmitter site operating at 14.7 kc with 1100 kw radiated power. At the tower top center the field was 30,000 volts per meter and tingling occurred on bare metal and sometimes on painted metal. At the ladder top the field reached 989,000 volts per meter, producing strong shocks comparable to a 115 volts ac line and causing reflex withdrawal without muscle freezing.
