... The committee is to first determine whether available research data on continuous and pulsed radiofrequency (RF) energy are adequate for determining the biologic and potential health effects of the PAVE PAWS phased-array system (see Appendix, lines 1-3 of Statement of Task)
From page 184...
... The cotntnittco further expects that the Phase IV measurement data, additional power density measurements, and computed exposure estimates that include a propagation model will be extremely useful m its attempts to evaluate the potential health effects of the PAVE PAWS radar on the Cape Cod population. The committee recognizes that much research has been conducted over the past 23 years that may provide insight into the possible biologic and health effects of PAVE PAWS radiation, and the committee will be reviewing the cellular, arrimal, and epidemiologic RF exposure and health effect data in detail.
From page 185...
... It should be further noted that the extensive literature on power-frequency fields is not considered relevant to the evaluation of PAVE PAWS health effects in our study because the physical mechanisms of interaction between power-frequency fields and tissue,

... This detennination will be communicated to the sponsor as a letter report. If the research data from continuous and pulsed RF energies are considered to be applicable for the determination of possible health effects of phased-array RF energy, the committee will use this information to update the 1979 National Research Council analysis of the exposure levels and potential biologic effects of the PAVE PAWS Radar System.
