Abstract

Auditory Effects of Microwave Radiation James C. Lin. Auditory Effects of Microwave Radiation. Springer, 2021. ISBN 978-3-030-64543-4 ISBN 978-3-030- 64544-1 (eBook). doi:10.1007/978-3-030-64544-1 This book examines the human auditory effects of exposure to beams of high-power microwave pulses, which research results have shown can cause a cascade of health events when aimed at a human subject or the subject’s head. The book details multidisciplinary investigations using physical theories and models, physiological events and phenomena, and computer analysis and simulation. Coverage includes brain anatomy and physiology, dosimetry of microwave power deposition, microwave auditory effect, interaction mechanisms, and shock/pressure wave induction. The book will be welcomed by scientists, academics, health professionals, and practicing engineers as an important contribution to the continuing study of the effects of microwave pulse absorption on humans. doi.org

Main findings

This book examines human auditory effects from exposure to beams of high-power microwave pulses and states that research results have shown such exposure can cause a cascade of health events when aimed at a human subject or the subject’s head. It describes investigations using physical models, physiological phenomena, and computer analysis/simulation, including dosimetry, interaction mechanisms, and shock/pressure wave induction.

Outcomes measured

  • auditory effects (microwave auditory effect)
  • health events (cascade of health events)
  • microwave pulse absorption effects
  • shock/pressure wave induction
  • microwave power deposition (dosimetry)

Limitations

  • Book description/abstract does not report specific study designs, quantitative results, or effect sizes.
  • No exposure metrics (e.g., frequency, SAR, pulse parameters) are provided in the abstract.
  • No sample size or participant characteristics are provided.
