Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		5.8 - 110 GHz exposure (auto radar) to humans and analysis of cardiovascular function
Details		Human subjects (n=50) were exposed to 77 GHz microwaves (simulating commercially available automobile radar system) at 3 µW/cm2 for 15 minutes (30 minute equilibration phase, 2 x 15 minute exposure (or sham) + 15 minute recovery). Subjects were only exposed during the first or second exposure period, and sham exposed in the other to serve as self controls. The authors examined heart rate, AV conduction velocity and duration of the action potential, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, skin conductivity, skin temperature, and respiratory rate. The authors reported no statistically significant effects of exposure. In a subsequent study, the authors examined the effects of a sequential pattern of microwaves varying from 5.8 to 110 GHz at higher exposure levels (59.7 microW/cm2) in test volunteers (n = 50). The authors again reported no significant effect due to RF exposure.
