THE EFFECTS OF RADAR ON THE HUMAN BODY (RESULTS OF RUSSIAN STUDIES ON THE SUBJECT)

Abstract

OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS, THE Academy of Medical Sciences, U.S.S.R. conducted clinical observations of the health of 525 persons who had been exposed to microwave radiation of various intensities and durations. The results of these examinations prompted the establishment of the Russian permissible limit for exposure to microwave radiation of 0.01 milliwatts per square centimeter for exposure during an entire working day. The clinical data obtained from the examinations is listed and discussed. (Author)
