华盛顿——美国国家科学院委员会的一份新报告发现，“定向”微波辐射可能是美国外交官患病的原因古巴和中国。
这项由国务院委托、周六发布的研究是为2016年底在哈瓦那的美国人员中开始出现的神秘疾病寻找原因的最新尝试。
研究发现，“定向脉冲射频能量似乎是对包括头部压力大、头晕和认知困难在内的症状的最合理解释”。它发现这种解释比其他先前认为的原因，如热带疾病或心理问题更有可能。这项研究没有指出这种能量的来源，也没有说这是攻击的结果，尽管它确实指出，以前对这种类型的伤害的研究是在前苏联进行的。
在其报告中，由19名成员组成的委员会指出，在试图揭开医学之谜的过程中，它面临着重大挑战。其中，并不是每个人都报告了相同的症状，国家科学院的研究也没有获得所有以前关于这些疾病的研究，其中一些是分类的。
斯坦福大学医学教授、委员会主席大卫·雷尔曼说:“委员会发现这些病例非常令人担忧，部分原因是定向脉冲射频能量作为一种机制的合理作用，但也因为其中一些人遭受了巨大的痛苦和虚弱。”“作为一个国家，我们需要以协调一致、全面的方式解决这些具体案例以及未来案例的可能性。”
这健康大约24名隶属于美国驻伊拉克大使馆的美国人受到了影响古巴以及加拿大外交官和美国驻中国广州领事馆的人员。
一些美国人对美国政府对他们的抗议的反应持批评态度健康至少有一人对国务院提起诉讼。
2016年底至2018年5月，哈瓦那的几名美国和加拿大外交官抱怨说，健康问题的原因不明。美国政府的一项统计显示，受影响的美国人员数量为26人。
一些人报告说，在家或住在酒店时听到类似蟋蟀的高音，这导致了早期的声波攻击理论。
Report finds microwave energy likely made US diplomats ill
WASHINGTON -- A new report by a National Academy of Sciences committee has found that “directed” microwave radiation is the likely cause of illnesses among American diplomats in Cuba and China.
The study commissioned by the State Department and released Saturday is the latest attempt to find a cause for the mysterious illnesses that started to emerge in late 2016 among U.S. personnel in Havana.
The study found that “directed, pulsed radio frequency energy appears to be the most plausible” explanation for symptoms that included intense head pressure, dizziness and cognitive difficulties. It found this explanation was more likely than other previously considered causes such as tropical disease or psychological issues. The study did not name a source for the energy and did not say it came as the result of an attack, though it did note that previous research on this type of injury was done in the former Soviet Union.
In its report, the 19-member committee noted that it faced significant challenges in trying to get to the bottom of the medical mystery. Among them, not everyone reported the same symptoms and the National Academy of Sciences research did not have access to all the previous studies on the illnesses, some of which are classified.
“The committee found these cases quite concerning, in part because of the plausible role of directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy as a mechanism, but also because of the significant suffering and debility that has occurred in some of these individuals,” said committee chairman David Relman, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. “We as a nation need to address these specific cases as well as the possibility of future cases with a concerted, coordinated, and comprehensive approach.”
The health effects were experienced by about two dozen Americans affiliated with the U.S. Embassy in Cuba as well as Canadian diplomats and personnel at the U.S. consulate in Guanghzhou, China, in early 2017.
Some of the Americans have been critical of the U.S. government's response to their health complaints and at least one has filed suit against the State Department.
Between late 2016 and May 2018, several U.S. and Canadian diplomats in Havana complained of health problems from an unknown cause. One U.S. government count put the number of American personnel affected at 26.
Some reported hearing high-pitched sounds similar to crickets while at home or staying in hotels, leading to an early theory of a sonic attack.
