Thermal Response in 'Macaca mulatta' Exposed to 15- and 20-MHz Radiofrequency Radiation.

Abstract

Rhesus monkeys were exposed to high incident-power levels of 15- and 20-MHz radiofrequency radiation for 3 hours. After a modest rise in rectal temperature, thermoregulatory control was established. Temperature rise was related to frequency and incident power. Equivalent power absorptions in man at these frequencies would be 15-25 times greater than current personnel exposure limits. (Author)
