Heat stress in microwave irradiation.

In experiments on 159 sexually mature dogs with an average weight of 6.5 + 0.71 kg, a study was made of the dynamics of physiological indices (rectal temperature, respiration and heart activity) of heat stress and various (%) effects of damage depending on power density (500, 300, 100 mV/cm2) and duration of microwave irradiation (2400 MHz). On the basis of the data obtained, it was established that the relationship between power density and duration of microwave irradiation with an equally probable (0.1%) effect of damage may be interpolated (100 < power density < 500) by an exponential equation of the type y = 1416 x-0.8156, where y = power density, mV/cm2, and x is the time of irradiation in minutes. The probability characteristic of adaptation possibilities of functionally critical values of damage not exceeding the indeterminate probability is obtained.
