Abstract Threshold values of the power density (PD) and duration of microwave irradiation with a lethal effect of not more than 0.1% were determined in experiments on 2072 rats. The ratio between the rate of development of the harmful effect and recovery is close to an exponential function of PD of microwave irradiation. From earlier observations on mice and those now published, species differencies between mice and rats can be accepted. As regards the time of appearance of equal lethal effects, the half- and whole-recovery periods, and the ratio between the rates of injury and the rate of recovery depending on PD of microwave irradiation, mice are more sensitive than rats.
