BIOMEDICAL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. PART II. BIOMEDICAL EFFECTS ON THE EYE FROM EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVES AND IONIZING RADIATIONS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4782558
A search of the literature revealed that ionizing radiations produce deleterious ocular effects, the most prominent being the development of cataracts. Retinal damage was also reported. The threshoki dose for ocular damage was not definitely established but a single large dose of radiation seems more harmful to the lens than an equivalent amount of small radiation doses. A considerable number of studies were devoted to the effects oi ionizing radiation upon biochemical processes of the eye. The effects of x rays were studied in some detail, but almost no information exists on the effects of neutrons, protons, mesons, microwaves, and ultrasonic radiation. (auth)
