dc.description.abstract |
The purpose of this thesis is to make known the dangers associated with microwave radiation. Since most people are unaware of these dangers, this thesis attempts to uncover some of the fallacies attributed to the safety of microwaves and to convey the realistic hazards of microwaves to the reader.
The society is constantly being exposed to microwaves. For example, from driving down the road in an automobile being bombarded with radar from the highway patrol's speed-trap system to cooking a roast in a leaking microwave oven gives evidence that our environment is being polluted with microwaves. Since little is known about the long-term and the non-thermal effects, as well as the low-power exposures to microwaves, a comprehensive analysis should be undertaken to determine them and the results made known to the public. This thesis gives documented evidence that microwaves are injurious to made and the effects are discussed. A laboratory experiment was performed to determine how safe microwaves are when they pass through several common materials. |
