| WHAT IS NON-IONIZING RADIATION,
AND HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM IONIZING RADIATION?
The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation depends on its frequency
(or wavelength); the greater the frequency (and shorter the wavelength),
the higher the energy. Therefore, x-radiation and gamma radiation, which
have extremely high frequencies, have relatively large amounts of energy;
while, at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum, ELF radiation
is less energetic by many orders of magnitude. In between these extremes
lie ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and RF radiation
(including microwaves), all differing in energy content.
Of the various forms of electromagnetic radiation, x-radiation and gamma
radiation represent the greatest relative hazard because of their greater
energy content and corresponding greater potential for damage. In fact,
X-rays and gamma rays are so energetic that they can cause ionization
of atoms and molecules and thus are classified as "ionizing"
radiation. Ionization is a process by which electrons are stripped from
atoms and molecules, producing molecular changes that can lead to significant
genetic damage in biological tissue. Less energetic forms of electromagnetic
radiation, such as microwave radiation, lack the ability to ionize atoms
and molecules and are classified as "non ionizing" radiation.
It is important that the terms, "ionizing" and "non ionizing,"
not be confused when referring to electromagnetic radiation, since their
mechanisms interaction of the human body are quite different. Biological
effects of (non ionizing) RF radiation are discussed in a later section.
WHAT BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS CAN BE CAUSED BY RADIATION?
There is a relatively extensive body of published literature concerning
the biological effects of RF radiation. The following discussion only
provides highlights of current knowledge in this area.
It has been known for some time that high intensities of RF radiation
can be harmful due to the ability of RF energy to heat biological tissue
rapidly. This is the principle by which microwave ovens cook food, and
exposure to high RF power densities, i.e., on the order of 100 mW/cm²
or more, can result in heating of the human body and an increase in body
temperature. Tissue damage can result primarily because of the body's
inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat. Under certain
conditions, exposure to RF power densities of about 10 mW/cm² or
more could result in measurable heating of biological tissue. The extent
of heating would depend on several factors including frequency of the
radiation; size, shape, and orientation of the exposed object; duration
of exposure; environmental conditions; and efficiency of heat dissipation.
Biological effects that result from heating of tissue by RF energy are
often referred to as "thermal" effects.
Two areas of the body, the eyes and the
testes, can be particularly susceptible to heating by RF energy because
of the relative lack of available blood flow to dissipate the excessive
heat load. Laboratory experiments have shown that short-term exposure
to high levels of RF radiation (100-200 mW/cm²) can cause cataracts
in rabbits. Temporary sterility, caused by such effects as changes in
sperm count and in sperm motility, is possible after exposure of the testes
to high level RF radiation.
It should be emphasized that environmental levels of RF radiation routinely
encountered by the public are far below the levels necessary to produce
significant heating and increased body temperature. In fact, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that 98-99% of the population
in seven U.S. urban areas studied is exposed to less than 0.001 mW/cm²
(Reference 15). However, there may be situations, particularly workplace
environments, where RF safety standards are exceeded and people could
be exposed to potentially harmful levels of RF radiation.
In addition to intensity, the electromagnetic frequency
of RF radiation is important in determining the relative hazard. At a
distance of several wavelengths from a source of RF radiation, whole body
absorption of RF energy by humans will occur at a maximum rate when the
frequency of the radiation is between about 30 and 300 MHz. Because of
this "resonance" phenomenon, RF safety standards take this frequency
dependence into account. Therefore, as discussed in a later section, the
most stringent standards are in this frequency range of maximum absorption.
At relatively low levels of exposure to RF radiation,
i.e. , field intensities lower than those that would produce significant
and measurable heating, the evidence for production of harmful biological
effects is less clear . A number of reports have appeared in the Russian
and East European literature claiming a wide range of low-level biological
effects. The low-level effects on animals and humans reported in the Soviet
and East European literature have included behavioral modifications, effects
on the blood forming and immunological system, reproductive effects, changes
in hormone levels, headaches, irritability, fatigue, and cardiovascular
effects. However, further research is needed to confirm the existence
of these effects and to determine whether they might constitute a health
hazard, particularly with regard to long-term exposure.
In recent years some Western scientists have also
reported biological effects after exposure of animals and animal tissue
to relatively low levels of RF radiation. These effects, often referred
to as "non thermal" effects, have included changes in the immune
system, neurological effects, behavioral effects, evidence for a link
between microwave exposure and the action of certain drugs and compounds,
and a "calcium efflux" effect in brain tissue (discussed below).
Experimental results have also suggested that microwaves might be involved
in cancer "promotion" under certain conditions. However, contradictory
experimental results have also been reported in many of these cases, and
further experiments are needed to determine the generality of these effects
and whether they constitute a threat to human health. It is possible that
"non thermal" mechanisms exist that could cause harmful biological
effects in animals and humans exposed to RF radiation. However, whether
this is the case remains to be proven. One
of the "non thermal" biological effects that appears to be reproducible
is the "calcium efflux" effect. This effect can be described
as the observation that the release of calcium ions from animal brain
tissue is enhanced after exposure to certain low intensities of RF radiation
under discrete conditions of frequency and signal modulation. This effect
has been observed at RF levels well below those necessary to produce heating
of tissue . The extent to which this effect might indicate a hazard is
not presently known, and further research is needed to determine the relevance,
if any, of this phenomenon to human health.
Another RF biological effect that has received attention is the so-called
microwave "hearing" effect. Under certain specific conditions
of frequency, signal modulation, and intensity, it has been shown that
animals and humans can perceive an RF signal as a buzzing or clicking
sound. Although a number of theories have been advanced to explain this
effect, the most widely accepted hypothesis is that the microwave signal
produces thermoelastic pressure within the head that is perceived as sound
by the auditory apparatus within the ear. It is important to emphasize
that the conditions under which this effect occurs would not normally
be encountered by members of the general public.

emitted & resonanced by plants, animals, viruses, bacteria etc.
