Body

NASA technology has made commercially available a new, inexpensive, conveniently carried device for protection of people exposed to potentially dangerous levels of microwave radiation. Cicoil calls the unit Micro-Gard Model 100. Weighing only four ounces and about the size of a cigarette pack, it can be carried in a shirt pocket or conveniently clipped to worker's belt. Unit sounds audible alarm when microwave radiation reaches a preset level, the OSHA safe limit or another threshold level decided by the user organization. Simple in design, it is priced well below earlier detectors.
