Abstract |
The effects of a 2.45GHz electromagnetic field with power densities of 1000, 500 and 100µW/cm2 on 8 male volunteers were investigated. The parameters used were the perceptual threshold in a tachistoscopic perception test, the total time for a number search test and the total symptoms and acute complaints registered in a questionnaire. At the highest field intensity, there was a decrease of the perception threshold and an increase in the total times and symptoms. At 500µW/cm2, the perception threshold clearly increased. At the lowest power density applied, no differences were found. A high interindividual variability was noted. |
