Some dissipative effects that can produce secular variations in the period of the binary pulsar PSR 1913 plus 16 are examined in order to rule out contributions to the secular binary-period variation that are not caused by gravitational-wave emission. Effects on the orbital dynamics due to a gas cloud enveloping the system are taken into account, the density and ionization of the gas are evaluated, and the contribution of magnetic braking of the pulsar to the secular variation in binary period is investigated. The effects considered are found to be completely negligible, which adds further evidence to the general-relativistic interpretation of the secular variation in the binary period in terms of gravitational-wave emission.
