No harmful health effects noted Moscow embassy still gets beam Washington a the russians Are continuing to beam microwave Radia Tion at the . Embassy in Moscow but tests of americans who used to work there have shown no harmful health effects Testate department said monday. Or. Herbert Pollack a medical doctor and government consultant said however that about a third of one group of stat department employees studied showed a slight apparently harmless change in the composition of their blood. There have been no medical ill effect observed in individuals whose Lymphocyte counts have been elevated Pollack said in testimony before a Senate Commerce subcommittee. The condition disappears after departure from  the russians probably for intelligence reasons have been aiming microwave radiation at the embassy since the early1950s. But it was not until 1975 that the signal was intensified and began coming from two different directions. Pollack said. He said there were fears then that the radiation might reach clearly harmful Levels. It was Only at that Point that embassy employees were informed of the Radia Tion and Public disclosure followed More than a year later. Today he said the signal is detected Foran average 8.5 hours during the week and rarely on weekends a decline from 1975and i 76 when the beam was turned on up to 18 and 20 hours  said the radiation at the embassy measures above the Standard the rus sians have set for themselves As being Safe.

Embassy workers and their families have been regularly tested since february 1976. And some have shown a blood irregularity similar to changes which occur to people suffering from severe virus infections. Pollack said there is some evidence that rather than microwaves an intestinal Dis ease known As Gia Diasis May be the Caus of the blood variation. In addition to the tests of embassy work ers who have left since 1976, Pollack said there is a much broader study under Way at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore of the records of All persons who worked atthe embassy since the radiation first began about 1953."it is to be expected that such a study will bring out any differences in health an longevity he said.
