Soviet and eastern european research on biological effects of microwave radiation

Abstract

A large amount of literature on the biological effects of microwave radiation has been obtained from the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries since 1973. This literature reports changes in almost all biological systems at exposure power densities less than 10 mW/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Since 1976 an increased amount of data using long-term microwave exposures at power density levels below 10 mW/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> has been published. An overview of research results reported since 1976 are presented in this paper.
