[Text] It was reported in numerous works of the 1950's and 1960's (Ye. V.
Gembitskiy; N. A. Osipov; A. A. Orlova; N. V. Uspenskaya) that there are
hemodynamic changes of a vagotonic nature, usually evaluated as specific
reactions of the organism to radiowaves. Vagotonic vegetovascular reactions
were demonstrated primarily with exposure to superhigh frequency (SHF)
electromagnetic'fields of the order of hundreds of microwatts per sq cm to
a few milliwatts per sq cm. Several authors (E. A. Drcgichina and M. N. .
Sadchikova; N. V. Tyagin; P. I. Fofanov and others) observed asthenic (neuras-
thenic) manifestations, vegetovascular changes related to increased excita-
bility of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, and
lability of arterial pressure with a tendency toward hypertensive or hypo-
tensive reactions in individuals exposed to SHF (microwave) electromagnetic
radiation for long periods of time. There are indications of possible
development of neurocirculary disorders of the hypertensive type under the .
influence of microwaves of up to hundreds of microwatts per sq cm in publica-
tions of the Last few years (G. G. Lysina; V. P. Medvedev; M. N. Sadchikova
and K. V. Nikonova, and others).
The objective of the present work was to study vascular tonUs in individuals
whose work involved exposure to low intensity microwaves. A total of 885
workers in the radio and electronic industries were submitted to a polyclinical
examination; 353 people (275 men and 78 women) were in contact with micro-
wave sources and 532 people (411 men and 121 women) made up the control group.
We analyzed the data of preliminary and periodic physical's on the basis of
outpatient charts. A total of 68 people were submitted to a comprehensive
workup in the hospital. The subjects ranged in age from 24 to 49 years.
Their occupations were as follows: adjusters, engineers, technicians,
testers and fitter-electricians. Two groups were distinguished, according to

working conditions. The first group consisted of 182 men (73.1% under 40
years old) who worked in the finishing rvypusknoy"1 shops of radar stations
(RS) and the sections of adjustment of SHF units at enterprises of the
radio industry who were periodically exposed to microwaves ranging from
a few to hundreds of microwatts per sq cm. Duration of exposure in the
course of a.work shift varied, depending on the type of product involved.
According to time studies conducted by I. P. Sokolova, it did not exceed
2-3 hours per day. Work tenure of most subjects (63.2%) was 19 to 10 years.
High air temperature (up to 37-39?) and noise, within the range of permissible
levels, were additional deleterious factors during work in radar booths.
The work was not associated with marked nervous and emotional tension.
The second group consisted of 93 men (69.9% up to 40 years of age) who
worked in sectors of adjustment of radiorelay equipment in.the radio
industry, and 78 women (52.6% up to 40 years old) who serviced the sectors
of adjustment and tuning of electronic instruments in enterprises of the
electronics industry. In this group of workers, the level of exposure to
microwaves did not exceed 10 lwatt/sq cm. Work tenure ranged from 3 to
20 years, constituing up to 10 years for most men (65.67w) and over 10 years
for most women (66.7%). In both groups, primarily the hands, head and top
half of the body were exposed to radiation.
The workers in the control group, consisting of 411 men (72.7% up to 40 years
old) and 121 women (81% up to 40 years old) were not exposed to any
deleterious industrial factors.
The general clinical examination of the first, second and control groups of
workers showed most of them to be essentially healthy (72, 80 and 87.6%,
respectively), while the others presented signs of vevtovascular dysfunction.
In 4 workers of the 1st group (47-48 years old), who had worked for a long
time with exposure to microwaves, there were neurocirculatory disorders
with critical course, which were evaluated as an occupational disease. We
are submitting the results of measuring arterial pressure, submitted to ?
statistical processing as related to sex, age, work tenure and working condi-
tions. Arterial pressure was measured by the auscultative method of Korotkov
in three positions (seated, standing and lying down) with determination of
the reactions to physical loads in men up to 40 years of age in the 1st and
2d groups. The range of fluctuations of arithmetic mean level (M?1.50)
obtained in the following control age groups: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 years,
was used as the norm for arterial pressure indices. In the control age
groups, systolic and diastolic pressure did not exceed the range of conventional
standards, 140/90 mm Hg (WHO criterion for individuals 20-60 years of age,
1962).
When we comparei(Table 1) the mean indices of arterial pressure in the 1st,
2d and control groups, we were impressed by the statistically reliable
elevation of systolic and diastolic pressure in men of the 1st group, regard-
less of age. Arterial hypertension was the most demonstrable under the
influence of a physical load. In this group, we also obtained a high degree
