THE OCULAR EFFECTS OF MICROWAVES ON HYPOTHERMIC RABBITS: A STUDY OF MICROWAVE CATARACTOGENIC MECHANISMS

Rabbits, irradiated by known cataractogenic levels of 2.45 GHz radiation at 5 cm, did not develop cataracts if kept under general hypothermia. Radiation-induced temperature elevation appears to be essential for the cataractogenic effect of microwaves.
