Abstract
The principal objectives of the paper under criticism were to interrelate the effects of ambient temperature and intensity of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RFR) on the activity of a single thermoregulatory effector, evaporative heat loss (EHL) and (ii) to ascertain if there is a relation between an animal's body mass and its sensitivity to thermalizing levels of RFR. In the following response, the author shall first explain the rationale and significance of interrelating the effects of Ta versus RFR; second, the author shall attempt to demonstrate theoretically why there should be an inverse relation between body mass and sensitivity of the organism to RFR; and third, the author shall report additional data that further demonstrate the principle of an inverse relation between body mass and SAR thresholds of physiological activity.
