Environmental aspects of microwave radiation.

Environmental aspects of microwave radiation.

Properties of Microwaves Microwaves are electromagnetic waves which fail in the frequency range of approximately 30-300,000 MHz. The location of the microwave band in the electromagnetic spectrum is shown in Fig. 1. From the relation X = c/l), (where X is the wavelength of the radiation, c is the speed of light, and is the frequency) the range of the wavelength of the radiation in free space is...

Hazards of Microwave Radiation

The use of microwave is increasing day by day all over the world. Microwaves are used in mobile phones, microwave ovens, etc. Mobile or cellular phones are now an integral part of modern telecommunications. In many countries, over half the population use mobile or cellular phones and the market is growing rapidly. Researches are going on in various countries on the possible health effects of mi...

Degradation of Transformer Oil (PCB Compounds) by Microwave Radiation, Ethanol Solvent, Hydrogen Peroxide and Dioxide Titanium for Reducing Environmental Hazards

Background: Poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of chlorinated organic chemicals that do not easily degrade in the environment. This study was conducted to determine the effect of microwave rays, hydrogen peroxide, dioxide titanium and ethanol solvent on the degradation of PCBs. Methods: A 900w domestic MW oven with a fixed frequency of 2450 MHZ was used to provide MW irradiation. R...

Radiofrequency and Microwave Radiation*

OVER the past five years awareness has been increasing among neurobiologists of ways in which information is processed in brain tissue. 1 Three lines of recent evidence are sharply at variance with most of what we learned in medical school about information transaction in central nervous tissue. The first line of evidence indicates that cell-to-cell communication between brain cells probably in...
