Abstract
A review of the published literature on the exposure of animals to microwave radiation indicates that the principal hazard results from the heating effect as the energy in the microwave radiation is absorbed in the body. The interpretation of extensive experimental data on small fur-bearing animals has led to the establishment of recommended exposure limits. These limits are discussed from the standpoint of the probable safety factor involved for total immersion of the human being in the microwave radiation field and for localized exposure confined to particular portions of the anatomy. Precautionary measures are discussed and a method for estimating the distance from a radiating antenna is presented. Some presently available microwave radiation intensity measuring devices are described.
