Quantitation of Microwave Radiation Effects on the Head and Eyes of Rabbits, Primates and Man.

Abstract

Daily and alternate day exposures of rabbits to subthreshold A.P.D. levels from a 2450 MHz C director resulted in cataracts. No lens changes occured if the interval between exposures was two or more days. Circulating hot water was used to elevate retrolental temperature of rabbits to 43 and 45 C. The lens changes were similar to those found following acute microwave irradiation. (Author)
