Thermal and Nonthermal Mechanisms of the Biological Interaction of Microwaves
Abstract
Research in the past on the biological effects of microwaves often has been based on faulty assumptions. The major flaw has been the premise that microwaves only produce thermal effects in tissue. This premise easily may be proven physically incorrect.
Furthermore, assuming only thermal effects leads one to an optimist's error of quantification in which calories are counted instead of joules. Past investigations have been misled both by these assumptions and by stereotyped experiments using only narrowband radiation sources. Recent studies show that wideband microwaves bring out biological effects which are unrelated to those caused by heat flow. A review by Kenneth Foster provides a basis for criticism and improved understanding.
