Regulation of Animal Population Activity by Electrostatic Charges Surrounding the Body Surfaces

S. Lang · 1974

Researchers measured electrostatic charges from mice and rats and found an average field strength of 200 V/m. Total population activity depended on animal density in cages, explained by thigmotaxis. Higher density increased touch frequency and rubbing, raising field strength until animals reduced activity to match a nominal value.

Use of radiation-sensitive bacterial mutants in the detection of deleterious effects of environmental agents

Mattern IE, Roberti B · 1974

Researchers used radiation-sensitive mutants of Uscherichin coli and Salmonella tuphimurcun in the study. The mutants were employed to identify environmental pollutants that damaze DN. Liver homogenates were added to the test system to imitate in vivo metabolism. The study also investigated the effects of 3 iHl% microwaves on hrologic Vival and mutation taduction.

Environment: Academic Review for Impact Statements

L.J.C. · 1974

The Environmental Impact Assessment Project assigned interdisciplinary teams of public interest scientists to critique federal impact statements. The project had a two-year budget of $220,000 and relied on volunteer faculty time, with about 400 volunteers signed up.

Microwave Cataracts

B. Appleton · 1974

Biomicroscopically detectable lens signs considered precursors of cataract occurred equally in both groups. A registry of seven acute high-level microwave exposures found no superficial burns or eye damage, with ocular status consistent with age. The authors concluded that lens damage probably has not occurred from cumulative low-level exposure and probably could not occur from acute exposure without severe facial burns. A separate study of 19 diathermy workers showed no difference in ocular examinations compared to controls.

Radiation and Environmental Biophysics - Fundamentals and Applications

Unknown authors · 1974

The publishers announced that Biophysik would continue from Volume 114 in 1974 under the new title Radiation and Environmental Biophysics. The journal's scope includes biophysics of nonionizing radiations such as microwaves and radio waves. The journal will also cover biological effects of physical factors and biophysical aspects of environmental research.

A Failure to Detect an Influence of Magnetic Fields on the Growth Rate and Circadian Rhythm of Neurospora crassa

D. Michael Bitz, Malcolm L. Sargent · 1974

The magnetic fields had no significant effect on growth rate or circadian period (conidiation rhythm) at P < 0.05. No reproducible changes in morphology, conidiation, or pigmentation were observed.

Cytopathological Effects of Radiofrequency Electric Fields on Reproductive Tissue of Adult Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

P. S. RAI, H. J. BALL, S. O. NELSON, L. E. STETSON · 1974

Three-day postemergence adult mealworm beetles were exposed to continuous-wave 39-MHz RF electric fields at 2.5 kV for 4.0 seconds. In ovarian tissue, trophocyte disintegration and vacuole formation appeared at 3 days post-treatment and increased by 6 days with most germarium cells disintegrated. Oocytes from treated adults stained darker and germinal vesicles showed clear areas not seen in controls at 6 days post-treatment.

Applications of Microwave Thawing to the Recovery of Deep Frozen Cells and Organs: A Review

W. A. G. Voss, R. V. Rajotte, J. B. Dossetor · 1974

Researchers applied 2450 MHz microwave energy to thaw deep-frozen tissue culture cells, fetal mouse hearts, and adult canine kidneys at rates up to 300°C/min. Chinese hamster cells thawed by microwave at 100–250°C/min survived as well as or better than water-bath-thawed cells when final temperature stayed below about 10°C. After implantation in syngeneic mouse ears, microwave-thawed hearts showed 67% survival at 6–15 days and 59% beyond 30 days, with electrical activity identical to unfrozen controls. Canine kidneys were thawed uniformly at 100–300°C/min from −79°C to 23°C with variation under ±12°C when perfusion was complete, but full functional recovery was not achieved.

Hazard Protection and Performance Effectiveness - Chapter 4: Radiation Environments

Unknown authors · 1974

Existing federal safety criteria of 10 mW/cm2 were based on 1950s microwave data and provisional EMP criteria from 1971 were under review. Researchers reported that biological effects may be frequency-specific, with 1.7 GHz potentially more injurious than 2.4 GHz, and that magnetic fields may be more biologically important than electric fields at lower frequencies.
