The biological effects due to microwave absorption is caused by the temperature elevation. The eye is said to be one of the most sensitive organs due to microwave heating because of its poor heat-dissipating properties. According to previous studies, a possibility of microwave-induced cataract formation has been suggested in rabbit eyes, while not for monkey eyes. This inconsistency is attributed to the differences in anatomical configuration and dimensions between rabbit and monkey. However, no detailed consideration has been conducted on the human eye. In the present study, we analyzed and compared the temperature elevation in the lens, the skin, and core temperature of numeric human and rabbit models for localized 2.45-GHz microwave exposure. Then, the difference between the temperature elevations in the rabbit and human models are discussed, especially from the standpoint of anatomical configuration. |
