EFFECTS OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS ON THE LIVING CELL I. BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES IN HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS AND ITS RELATION TO THEIR AGE

A. A. FUREDI, I. OHAD · 1964

Researchers exposed human erythrocytes to a 120 megacycles/sec electric field for 1-5 sec. Young erythrocytes in hypotonic sucrose elongated parallel to the field by 2-4 times the normal cell diameter and rotated without changing direction. Old erythrocytes did not elongate or rotate but formed chains parallel to the field, with less than 10% of old cells showing elongation versus more than 90% of young cells.

Heating Characteristics of Laboratory Animals Exposed to Ten-Centimeter Microwaves

T. S. ELY, D. E. GOLDMAN, J. Z. HEARON · 1964

The study used a 2880 Mc/sec radar transmitter to expose the flanks of rats, rabbits, and dogs for whole-body heating observations. Restricted area fields were used to study heating and cooling of eyes and testes. The testis was identified as the limiting factor for hazard in most exposure circumstances.

TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTIONS AS PRODUCED BY MICROWAVES IN SPECIMENS UNDER THERAPEUTIC CONDITIONS

George D. Brunner et al. · 1963

Researchers aimed to determine heating patterns and temperature distributions from 2,450 and 900 mc microwave diathermy using pig thigh specimens composed of skin, fat, and muscle. The 900 mc frequency penetrated tissue more deeply and produced relatively more heat in muscle, while 2,450 mc deposited more heat in subcutaneous fat. For patients with up to 2 cm of subcutaneous fat, 900 mc yielded the highest temperature in muscle whereas 2,450 mc still peaked in fat.

EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION ON THE EYE

L. Birenbaum et al. · 1963

The researchers used continuous-wave microwave radiation at 5.5 kmc/sec to determine the threshold power levels that produce lens changes in rabbits after a single exposure. The results obtained are summarized in Fig. IV-5. Lens injury appeared by the fourth day as a small localized opacity at the anterior lens surface or a more extensive cataractous change in the anterior portion. The opacities either regressed, grew then regressed, progressed to a complete cataract, or occasionally resolved completely.

THE RADIATION HAZARDS (RAD HAZ) PROGRAM ON THE FORMULATION OF STANDARDS

P. C. CONSTANT, JR., E. J. MARTIN, JR. · 1963

The RAD HAZ program was divided into Bio-Effects, HERO, and SPARKS subprograms to study hazards to personnel, ordnance, and flammable materials. Midwest Research Institute has worked on the program since May 1959 to gather data for radiation hazard standards. A tentative exposure limit of 10 mw/cm² for whole-body human irradiation was accepted by the Armed Forces but was not a universal standard. Animal research over four years showed that high RF fields can cause cataracts, burns, headaches, and fever, though no human fatalities were known.
