Versuche über den Einfluß elektromagnetischer Wellen auf die Reaktionsfähigkeit von Zellen und Geweben III. Mitteilung: Einfluß der Bestrahlung mit Rotlicht und Mikrowellen auf die Pinocytose von FL-Zellkulturen

Silke Heller · 1972

FL cells grown in tubes on plastic foil were inoculated with ink that had been irradiated with infrared and/or microwaves, then some cells were irradiated themselves, and uptake of ink particles was recorded. Irradiation of the ink with red light followed by irradiation of the cells with cm-waves yielded the highest number of cells that had taken up ink, and this difference from the non-irradiated group was statistically significant. The results indicated a maximum value for the uptake of ink particles into the cells.

IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIVITY OF ANIMALS IN PROLONGED IRRADIATION BY ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY RADIOWAVES

I. S. Dronov, A. D. Kiritseva · 1972

Rabbits were exposed to UHF radiowaves at 50 microvolts/cm² and 10 microvolts/cm² for four hours daily over four months. Forty rabbits were used, with twenty controls, five at 10 microvolts/cm², and fifteen at 50 microvolts/cm² divided into three groups with different immunization timing. Immunobiological changes were assessed by phagocytic activity of neutrophils, specific antibody complement, and titer in blood serum.

AN EXAMINATION OF CERTAIN BLOOD SERUM CONSTITUENTS IN THE RAT FOLLOWING MICROWAVE IRRADIATION

David W. Fulk, Edward D. Finch · 1972

In Experiment I, six groups of three rats each were exposed to pulsed 2,860 MHz microwaves for 15 minutes at power densities of 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 mw/cm2. No significant differences in any of the 12 measured serum parameters were found at 50 mw/cm2 or below compared to controls.

A Generalized Expression for the Energy Density of Electromagnetic Waves in Media with Strong Temporal Dispersion

Dan Anderson · 1972

Researchers derived a generalized expression for electromagnetic wave energy density in lossless, homogeneous, isotropic media with temporal dispersion. The expression generalizes the standard form by including higher-order derivatives of dielectric and permeability functions and field amplitudes. Correction terms become important for strong dispersion or broad band signals, as shown with a Gaussian chirp pulse example.

Development of Regulatory Programs under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968

Robert L. Elder, Walter C. Baugh, Jr. · 1972

The Act became effective October 18, 1968 and gave the Bureau of Radiological Health authority to set performance standards and require defect corrections. Three performance standards were promulgated for television receivers, cold-cathode gas-discharge tubes, and microwave ovens. The television standard set a maximum X-ray exposure rate of 0.5 mR/h at 5 cm from the housing with phased compliance dates. The microwave oven standard limited radiation leakage to 1 mW/cm² at manufacture and 5 mW/cm² throughout the oven's lifetime. The Bureau worked with 17 manufacturers to resolve defects or non-compliance, all cooperatively.

Nonionizing Electromagnetic Wave Effects in Biological Materials and Systems

Curtis C. Johnson, Arthur W. Guy · 1972

The paper summarizes related work in the literature and presents new results. High radiation intensities can produce burns, cataracts, and chemical changes. Biological effects have been reported at lower intensities, but it is not known if they are harmful. Most effects are not harmful under controlled conditions and can be used for therapeutic purposes and diagnostic measurements.

The Influence of Electric Current on Bone Regeneration In Vivo

L. S. Lavine, I. Lustrin, M. H. Shamos, M. L. Moss · 1971

Ninety-one rabbits received a femoral defect and were exposed to 2-4 microamperes of direct current for one to three weeks. Three weeks of current at 2.5-3.5 microamperes produced the most new bone formation. Direct current increased healing by roughly a factor of two compared to controls without current. Three-week experimental animals showed similar bone formation to six-week controls.

Program for Control of Electromagnetic Pollution of the Environment: The Assessment of Biological Hazards of Nonionizing Electromagnetic Radiation

Unknown authors · 1971

Nonionizing electromagnetic radiation from radar, television, microwave ovens, and other sources permeates the modern environment and power levels may already be biologically significant. The report states that definitive scientific data on genetic, clinical, physiological, and behavioral effects at power densities below 10 mW/cm² are lacking. Previous U.S. research focused on short-term thermal effects above 10 mW/cm², while Soviet scientists reported low-level chronic effects on cardiovascular and central nervous systems and set permissible exposure levels lower by a factor of 1,000 for long-term exposure.

CLINICAL ASPECTS OF IRRADIATIONS IN THE SHF-RANGE

Tyagin, N. V. (Nikolay Vasil'yevich) · 1971

The book presents overall characteristics of SHF fields, their applications, measurement principles, and biological effects on the nervous, cardiovascular, circulatory systems, metabolism, and certain animal and human organs. It discusses mechanisms of action and shows that prolonged repeated irradiations produce clinical manifestations divided into asthenic, vegetative-vascular, and diencephalic syndromes of varying severity. Data on permissible exposure levels, medical expert testimony, and protection measures are presented, indicating that workplace measures can nearly eliminate radiation exceeding allowable limits.
