Studies Concerned with Biological Effects of Microwave Irradiations of Different Frequencies.

Abstract

A summary of 11 years research work is submitted in brief form. Microwaves whether c.w. of pulsed (radar) are lethal with high energy, and hazardous with low energy. The research delineated the physiology and pathology involved. No human personnel should be exposed to more than .01 w/sq m over short periods or over .0035 w/sq m over long periods of time. Electronic inventions are listed. The microwave energies above are permissible but not listed as safe. Microwaves are dangerous, in fact, the most dangerous ever developed by man. A rat can be killed in 12 seconds by a 1000 watt generator. (Author)
