Abstract A program for studying the biological effects of microwave radiation is summarized. Particular attention is given to a controlled environmental chamber and its utility in studying experimental animals' responses to microwave irradiation. An experiment is discussed which demonstrates the importance of temperature and humidity parameters, and suggests experimental approaches that may resolve the "thermal vs. non-thermal" controversy surrounding microwave irradiation. Also discussed is a proposed biochemical system employing ribonuclease for determining the existence of temperature gradients in solutions exposed to microwave fields.
