[Mathematical description of synergistic interactions of environment temperature and microwaves for animal warming].
For mathematical description of synergetic interaction of high environmental temperature and microwaves for animal heating, a simple semi-empirical model was used. In the model, it is suggested that the mechanism of synergistic interaction is caused by the additional effective damages resulting in more higher body temperature increment comparing with that expected for the independent action of each agents. These additional damages are supposed to be produced by the interaction of sublesions induces by each agent and which are ineffective for their separate action. Utilizing the results published for rabbits [15], it was demonstrated that the model describes experimental data, predicts the highest synergistic effect and the condition under which it can be achieved. The data obtained may be useful for the assessment of microwave exposure safe levels.
