Skin Effects.
Through studies to understand and quantify the effects on human skin were
conducted. A major goal of the skin effect studies was to determine if the rapid increase
in skin temperature could cause injury, and also to quantify the human reaction rate for
the perception of the temperature increase. The baseline for conducting the initial human
effects studies was research conducted in the 1940s on skin temperature increases and the
effects of intense heating on the skin.1 ADS human effects testing, like all DOD scientific
research using human volunteers, was conducted under strict human use experimentation
protocols that are reviewed by an Institutional Review Board and approved by the lead
Service Surgeon General. The initial human effects studies were conducted in a
laboratory and consisted of exposing the backs of volunteer subjects to a small spot of
millimeter wave energy. The subjects sat on a stool and moved when the heating
sensation became intolerable. Their reaction time was measured, and any resulting skin
irritation examined. The research showed that a considerable safety margin exists
between the time it takes for a person to feel the heating sensation and move away from
the beam and the time it takes for the beam to produce an injury. Research results were
published in peer-reviewed scientific and medical journals in 19972 and 2000.3 Testing
later moved to the field, where data on full spot size exposures was recorded.
