NONIONIZING RADIATION IN THE ENVIRONMENT

William A. Mills et al. · 1971

As of February 1, 1971, the FCC listed 892 TV stations and 7,868 broadcasting stations. The paper concluded that while no hazards had been definitively established at current ambient power levels, the increasing number of radiation sources and exposure levels necessitated measurement and evaluation before possible effects became apparent.

RADIATION (Lasers, Microwaves, Electrical Fields)

DE ROUNDS, T LANWILL · 1971

The study aimed to determine if subthreshold laser energy in the green to infrared spectrum could produce chromosomal or genetic changes persisting through several cell generations. Human lung and tumor cells received UV laser irradiation as a single pulse. Tumor cells were more susceptible to damage than human fibroblasts, with dilatation and fragmentation of ribosomes in non-tumor cells and no detectable mitochondrial changes. Tumor cells showed extensive blebbing of cytoplasmic components, structureless and swollen mitochondria, and non-membrane bound clear areas of cytoplasm. Few cells showed dramatic changes in nuclear ultrastructure, suggesting the primary damage sites were not the protein synthesis machinery.

Quantifying Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields: Scientific Basis and Practical Considerations

DIELECTRIC PARAMETERS OF HUMAN BLOOD SERUM IN THE RANGE 1-30 Mc/s

V. A. Konovalenko, V. A. Yamshanov · 1971

Researchers measured the complex dielectric constant of water, NaCl solutions, serum from healthy donors, a cancer patient, and horse serum over 1-30 Mc/s. Serum from three healthy donors, one cancer patient, and preserved horse serum showed practically identical dielectric parameters within measurement error. The real part of the complex dielectric constant of native serum matched that of 0.1 N NaCl across the whole range, indicating salts determine this component. Dialysis of serum against 0.01 N NaCl reduced salt concentration so that the reactive component matched water while the active conductivity exceeded the salt solution, an excess attributable to proteins.

The Effect of Microwave on Y-Maze Learning in the White Rat

Roger C. Nealeigh et al. · 1971

Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats about 90 days old were randomly assigned to a control group and a microwave-irradiated group. The microwave exposures consisted of 2.45 GHz continuous wave irradiation for 20 minutes at a maximum power density of 50 mw/cm*. Performance of white rats in a Y-maze learning task was altered by exposures of 2.45 GHz microwaves at a measured maximum level of 50 mW/cm*.

Microwave Cataract

Robert W. Neidlinger · 1971

The author reviews at least four main mechanisms by which microwave radiation could produce cataracts. The author notes that it is extremely difficult to design experiments that yield unequivocal results relevant to occupational exposure.

Microwave Absorption in a Helical Polypeptide Molecule

Mansel Davies, P. Maurel, A. H. Price · 1971

Researchers measured microwave absorption at 3, 8.5, 36, and 72 GHz on three molecular weight samples of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) in two solvents. In each case a distinct, narrow absorption centered between 2 and 15 GHz was observed and was almost temperature independent. The absorption’s frequency, intensity, and contour are not inconsistent with a helical-spring vibration mode proposed to explain an abnormal polarizability increase.

Induced fields and heating within a cranial structure irradiated by an electromagnetic plane wave

Shapiro AR, Lutomirski RF, Yura HT · 1971

Researchers calculated induced fields and static heating patterns for a multilayered spherical model of a primate cranial structure irradiated by a plane wave at 3000 MHz. They demonstrated that the semi-infinite slab model is inappropriate for calculating microwave radiation dosage for the human head and that the infinite slab model can give large errors for the internal fields.
