THE EFFECT OF MICROWAVES ON RATS SUBJECTED TO THE ACTION OF GASEOUS MEDIA WITH AN ALTERED CONTENT OF OXYGEN AND CHEMICAL AGENTS OF ANTIOXIDATIVE ACTION

V. M. Koldaev · 1972

Rats were subjected to microwave irradiation at a wavelength of 12.6 cm and frequency of 2380 Mc/s. Their resistance during inhalation of gaseous mixtures with reduced oxygen content and following introduction of some chemical agents was investigated. The duration of survival correlated with the extent of the muscle relaxant and chemical content. Chemical treatment at this level was accompanied with shortening and its increase with lengthening of the experimental period.

Radio Frequency and Microwave Radiation

Unknown authors · 1972

The guide defines radio frequency and microwave bands from 10 MHz to 300 GHz and describes common sources such as radar, communication systems, medical diathermy, and microwave ovens. It explains that microwaves interact with tissue mainly by converting electromagnetic energy to heat, with penetration depth depending on wavelength. ANSI recommends a maximum power density of 10 mW/cm² for exposures of 0.1 hour or more. ACGIH sets a threshold limit value of 10 mW/cm² for continuous exposure and 25 mW/cm² for intermittent exposure.

MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE CELLS OF CORTIS ORGAN FOLLOWING EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVES

R. Zyss, E. Boczynski · 1972

Researchers exposed guinea pigs to microwaves of 2 mW/cm² intensity and 10 cm wavelength and examined morphological state, glycogen, and nucleic acids in Corti's organ. They observed degeneration of cytoplasm, pyknosis or swelling of nuclei, and swelling or vacuolar changes in the cytoplasm. The organ of Corti contained abundant glycogen only in outer hair cells. Microwave irradiation caused a marked decrease in that glycogen content.
