Text/ In this work we studied the possibility of investigating several
functions of the visual analyzer for the purpose of detecting early signs
of the effect of radio frequency electromagnetic waves on the human orga-
nism. The investigations performed in various industrial enterprises showed
that, of the numerous ophthalmologic methods, the determination of the
thresholds of color discrimination, especially red, and of the tempo-
rary threshold of light sensitivity proved to be the most suitable for the
solution of the task set (from the point of view of sensitivity, accessibil-
ity and speed of investigation, as well as the stability of the results ob-
tained). We measured the threshold of color discrimination and the tempo-
rary threshold of light sensitivity by means of serially produced equipment
.(the AN-59 anomaloscope and the ADM model adaptometer respectively), which
makes it possible to obtain a quantitative description of the thresholds of
color (red, green and blue; G. N. Rautian) and light (Ye. G. Rapis) sensi-
tivity in a short time (up to 5 minutes).
We investigated the threshold of color discrimination and the, temporary
threshold of light sensitivity among workers of a radio section for the
repair and tuning of equipment, among which there were primarily SHF sources
in a centimeter range. By means of the PO-1 ("Medik-l") measuring equip-
ment we carefully established the power flux density at every work place
and by means of a time study determined the duration of irradiation of wor-
kers during the work day. This made it possible to divide all the section
workers into three groups: the first, 25 people, at whose work places
there were SHF wave sources 5f a centimeter range; the power flux density
ranged from 235 to 370 vW/cm ; the second, 22 workers at the nearest neigh-
boring work places exposed to the effect of EM waves with a power flux den-
sity of 10 to 50 UW/cm ; the third, 19 workers exposed only to thi effect
of reflected EM waves with a power flux density of up to 10 pW/cm . The

duration of the effect of radio frequencies was approximately the same in
all the three groups, totaling from 60 to 90 minutes during the work day.
The work of the specialists of these groups was almost of the same type and
was not connected with a considerable strain of the visual analyzer.
In the fourth control group we included 25 people executing similar techno-
logical work on the repair of electric equipment, but not exposed to the
effect of SHF wave sources.
Thus, only the workers of the first group were exposed to irradiation ex-
ceeding the maximum permissible level (no more than 100 uW/cm2 with a dura-
tion of irradiation of up to 2 hours).
