Critical evaluation of maximum permissible levels of microwave radiation

Abstract

Prikazana su iskustva u vezi biološkog učinka mikrovalnog i elektromagnetskog zračenja niskih frekvencija. Posebno se razmatra pitanje tzv. ekstratermalnog efekta. Na temelju prethodno provedenih ispitivanja autor zastupa u prikazu mišljenje da treba uzeti u obzir i taj učinak ove vrste zračenja. Pretpostavka, da se biološko djelovanje mikrovalnog zračenja osniva isključivo na toplinskom učinku, po mišljenju autora, pojednostavljuje na nedozvoljeni način čitav problem, naročito u vezi s utvrđivanjem maksimalno dopuštenih doza. U prikazu se autor posebno osvrće na kliničko promatranje grupe sastavljene od većeg broja osoba koja je bila profesionalno izložena mikrovalnom zračenju s frekvencijom između 750 MHz i 200 MHz. Iznose se rezultati iz kojih se može zaključiti da je u grupi, koja je bila duže vremena eksponirana, učestalost nekih simptoma bila znatno veća nego u kontrolnoj - kraće eksponiranoj grupi. U prikazu se autor osvrće i na rezultate eksperimentalnih istraživanja o djelovanju mikrovalnog zračenja, naročito s obzirom na tzv. termalni efekt.

Biological effect of microwaves and electromagnetic radiation of lower frequency is reviewed, with particular reference to the problem of the so-called extrathermal effect, which - in the author's opinion - should be given due consideration. The assumption that the biological effect of microwaves is only based on thermal effect, unduly simplifies the whole problem, especially in connection with the determination of maximum permissible doses. The results are presented of the clinical observations of a larger group of persons occupationally exposed to microwaves ranging from 750 to 200 MHz. These results indicate that in the group with prolonged exposition the occurrence of some symptoms was considerably higher than in the control group. The results of some experimental work on the effect of microwaves, with special reference to the so-called thermal effect, are also discussed.
