The technical objective was to determine the reflection and absorption characteristics of the human body when exposed to microwave radiation. Transmission characteristics of a sample in a waveguide were measured starting with X-band and the work was planned to extend to other frequencies, modes, and pulsed radiation.

The model showed that the microwave intensity permitting infinite exposure is approximately the same for all species, about 30 mw/cm*. At higher intensities, smaller animals reach the temperature rise more quickly than larger animals, with humans requiring the longest time. The authors note the calculations are conservative because real heat-regulation mechanisms like sweating are more efficient than the model assumes. Measured data from dogs fell above the calculated curve, supporting the conservative estimate.

Researchers examined 736 microwave workers and 559 controls for subclinical lens defects using ophthalmologic examination. Lens defect incidence increased linearly with age in both groups but at a significantly greater rate in microwave workers, attributable to lens opacity and posterior polar defects correlated with exposure parameters. A retrospective study of 2,946 cataract cases and 2,164 controls found no significant increase in relative risk of cataract formation associated with military radar work.

Clostridium welchii type A toxin showed no change in toxicity when tested by human serum opacity and mouse lethality studies. Flocculation tests found no change in antitoxin combining capacity or antigenicity of diphtheria toxin. The authors questioned the efficacy of available assay procedures and called for more precise methods.

Researchers exposed human subjects to intense thermal radiation from quartz lamps at 0.15 gm cal/sec/cm² and measured skin temperature changes with a radiometer. For longer exposures, vasodilation and sweating slowed the skin temperature rise. Subcutaneous temperatures could be calculated from surface data, with most radiation absorbed in the first 0.05-0.15 mm of skin, though some near 1μ penetrated to 5 mm or more.

The study tested cholinesterase as an indicator for phosphorus-containing insecticides including mercaptophos, thiophos, octamethyl pyrophosphoramide, and triethylisophosphate. Mercaptophos showed the strongest anticholinesterase effect, followed by thiophos, and the degree of enzyme suppression matched the compounds' toxicity. The colorimetric method using horse serum cholinesterase and bromthymol blue could detect mercaptophos and thiophos at quantities exceeding 1 mg per test sample. Aqueous solutions of mercaptophos stored at 277 degrees showed increasing anticholinesterase activity over the first 24 hours followed by a gradual decline, indicating transformation into a more active form.
