Subtle Measurement of Behavior Effects of Microwave Radiation.
Abstract
The growing application of microwave (RF) technology has increased the potential for hazardous human exposures. The potential hazard posed by this expanding use of RF technology requires an ongoing study of RF bioeffects to keep pace with new applications and technologies. Furthermore, exposures to new and future sources are likely to involve RF power levels and exposure parameters (e.g., frequency, pulse width, peak power, etc.) which have yet to be studied. Effects on performance are among the most sensitive indices of biological effects (Elder and Cahill, 1984) and is a necessary part any research program to characterize RF hazards. In addition, many safety issues require understanding potential performance effects. For example, interference with self-rescue or task performance by RF exposure represent two performance mediated hazards.
