Model 2450 MHz (CW) exposure to rabbits and analysis of behavioral disruption
Details

Rabbits (n = 24) were exposed to whole body 2450 MHz (CW) at increasing power density (100 to 1,000 W/m2) in a waveguide eposure system and monitored. Core body temperature was measured with a thermal probe inserted 100 mm into the rectum, and the temperature of the eye was measured with a fluoroptic thermometer affixed to the lens. The authors report whole body SAR levels of ~1.3 W/kg resulted in core body temperature increases of 0.9 to 1.0 degree C which also corresponded to the onset of behavioral disruptions. The authors state that the corresponding SAR in humans would be 6.5 W/kg due to the greater thermoregulatory capability.
