OSTI ID:6578476
A pilot study investigated the consequences of chronic exposure (40 h/wk) to 2450-MHz CW microwaves, or sham exposure, in a cold (18 C) environment on the thermoregulatory responses, both behavioral and physiological, of squirrel monkeys. Four animals exposed to microwaves at 20 mW/cm/sup 2/ exhibited responses that indicated slight amelioration of the mild cold stress while four sham-exposed animals sustained no thermoregulatory deficits. Although the sample size was too small to yield statistically reliable data, general trends in the results support the view that exposure to microwaves of moderate intensity in the work environment is benign in terms of long-term effects on thermoregulatory processes.
