| Abstract |
Literature review of microwave hazards with particular reference to the formation of eye cataract. It is conluded that the U.S. exposure limit of 10 mW/cm2 is safe, although one should consider cataract formation only an ancillary tool for the evaluation of safe exposure limits since, for example, transient changes in testicular function may occur at power levels lower than those which may induce cataract. |
