A previous study reported thermal effects resulting from millimeter wave exposures at 35 and 94 GHz on non-human primates, specifically rhesus monkeys' (Macaca mulatta) corneas, but the data exhibited large variations in the observed temperatures and uncertainties in the millimeter wave dosimetry. By incorporating improvements in models and dosimetry, a non-human primate experiment was conducted involving corneal exposures that agreed well with a three-layer, one-dimensional, thermodynamic model to predict the expected surface temperature rise. The new data indicated that the originally reported safety margins for eye exposures were underestimated by 41 ± 20% over the power densities explored. As a result, the expected minimal visible lesion thresholds should be raised to 10.6 ± 1.5 and 7.1 ± 1.0 J cm at 35 and 94 GHz, respectively, provided that the power density is less than 6 W cm for subjects that are unable to blink. If the blink reflex was active, a power density threshold of 20 W cm could be used to protect the eye, although the eyelid could be burned if the exposure was long enough.

回顾非人类灵长类动物眼睛的35和94 GHZ毫米波曝光。

先前的研究报道了毫米波在35和94 GHz下暴露于非人类灵长类动物，特别是恒河猴（猕猴）的角膜所产生的热效应，但数据显示，所观察到的温度存在较大差异，并且毫米波剂量学存在不确定性。通过结合模型和剂量学方面的改进，进行了一项非人类灵长类动物实验，涉及角膜暴露，该暴露与三层一维热力学模型非常吻合，可预测预期的表面温度升高。新数据表明，最初探讨的接触眼睛的安全裕度比所研究的功率密度低了41±20％。结果，在35 GHz和94 GHz时，预期的最小可见病变阈值应分别提高到10.6±1.5和7.1±1.0 J cm，对于无法眨眼的对象，前提是功率密度小于6 W cm。如果眨眼反射是活动的，则可以使用20 W cm的功率密度阈值来保护眼睛，尽管如果暴露足够长的时间可能会烧伤眼睑。
